About to Lose Your Driver's License?
Chicago is a great town, but as anyone who has visited can tell you, parking can be a problem. Parking tickets can accumulate until they become unmanageable. Occasionally, parking and traffic fines climb into the thousands. When that happens, the state may take action and suspend your driver's license; however, there are legal remedies to pursue if you want to retain your ability to drive a car or truck.
At Joyner Law Office, we make every effort to ensure your driver's license is not suspended for parking tickets or traffic violations, or if it is, to work for reinstatement of your license as soon as possible. We have seen individuals with as much as $20,000 in accumulated parking and traffic fines, penalties and interest. The good news is that we can help. If you need a driver's license to get to work, or to conduct your work — contact us.
We have been able to help a number of individuals, including:
- Truck drivers, taxi cab drivers, delivery drivers and other professional drivers
- Out of state college students
- Individuals involved in a car accident involving a traffic violation
- Individuals who must commute to work because there is no public transportation available
- Uninsured motorists involved in a traffic accident with a lien placed on driver's privileges by the other party or insurance company
Can parking tickets be included in a bankruptcy filing? Yes, and we can do it.
As a bankruptcy lawyer, Veronica D. Joyner has helped a number of individuals in Chicago who had have accumulated excessive traffic violation fines, parking tickets and suspension of their driver's licenses. Our law firm's philosophy is to listen to our clients, and respect them. We will not judge you for your accumulated fines and fees. There are two main options for relief from your situation:
- Chapter 7 bankruptcy — This option will buy you time and free up money you might not otherwise have on hand, but under a Chapter 7 filing, all of your parking fees and fines must still be repaid in full. We'd be happy to talk to you about how a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing can help you.
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy — Through a repayment plan, you repay a portion of your debts to a trustee but all of your parking fees and fines must still be repaid in full. Our success rate is high with driver's license reinstatements through a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, as long as you are able to make payments. Listing the debt under the Chapter 13 filing is often enough to reinstate your driver's license. We'd be happy to talk to you about how this works.
If you have traffic violations and parking tickets that have resulted in a suspension of your driver's license, we can help.
