Have you been charged with aggravated speeding?

 

I represent clients facing misdemeanor speeding tickets throughout Illinois.

Speeding 26 mph or more over the speed limit is often referred to as Aggravated

Speeding.  Aggravated speeding is a criminal charge in Illinois.   I have handled

hundreds of aggravated speeding case and will fight to keep a conviction off your

record.   I have successfully challenged speeding tickets based on speedometers

and radar equipment not being calibrated or operating correctly.

SENTENCING

​

Depending on a your driving history, criminal history, aggravating factors of the arrest, and mitigation, you may be eligible for Court Supervision.  Court Supervision is not a conviction, therefore it does not appear on your public driving record.  Conditions such as community service, SWAP, traffic safety school, and fines may be ordered as part of any sentence. The law prohibits court supervision for aggravated speeding in a highway-construction zone, school zone, or in an urban district.
