Legal Answers
367 Questions Answered
- Q. I have traffic court 03/26/2020 in McHenry County. I know the courts are closed but what happens with my tickets?
- A: See if a new date has been posted for your traffic case - https://caseinfo.mchenrycountyil.gov/pca/Home/Search. If it is not updated, you may wish to contact the Clerk's Office on Monday to verify.
- Q. Parking ticket. Tried to take care of it they said it did not exist now a month later they say its there
- A: Unfortunately, yes, it still needs to be paid.
- Q. My son got a speeding ticket 2 weeks ago, and just this weekend we got another one. can we still get supervision?
- A: Technically, you can receive supervision twice within 12 months. He would need to appear in court on the second to receive supervision again - it as at the discretion of the judge. An attorney may be able to assist.
- Q. I have a court date on March 26, 2020 at Addison traffic court. I'm not sure if the court is open on that day.
- A: No updates as of yet. If they postpone your court date you will be notified by mail (you can also check your case status on the website for the Clerk of the Circuit Court - https://epay.18thjudicial.org/Clerk/allsearch.do .
- Q. Could I just go pay the ticket with no issues? or what/how should I approach this?
- A: You can pay it but a conviction would stay on your record. It may be worth filing a motion to vacate to bring it back into court and attempt to remove the conviction or possibly have it dismissed (if set for trial and the other party does not show up). An attorney can assist.
- Q. How do I obtain documentation to contest a citation for driving while registration suspended for noninsurance?
- A: You can obtain a court purposes driving record from the Secretary of State, which will be clean, but the court should already have access to that information. As they say, it's hard to prove a negative. You may want to hire an attorney to straighten this out with the prosecutor in court.
- Q. What happens when on court supervision for a ticket in August 2019 & receive a following too close?
- A: If you are still on court supervision at the time you received the second ticket, your supervision could be revoked and a conviction could be entered. The ticket for the traffic accident may be dismissed if the other party doesn’t show up in court or you may be eligible to receive a second order of court supervision. An attorney in McHenry County can certainly assist and ensure you receive the best possible result.
- Q. If proven that I was only going 3 mph over the limit rather than 8 due to where the sign is, can I get a dismissal?
- A: Unfortunately no.
- Q. what happens if supervision is denied after pleading guilty to speeding and paying the ticket?
- A: A conviction will be entered for the offense on your public driving record. It may be possible to remove the conviction by filing a motion to vacate.
