Experienced Defense Attorneys Fighting Traffic Violation Charges In Chicago, Wheaton And Schaumburg

At The Law Offices of Steven R. Roach, we understand the serious nature of traffic violations, especially those that fall under aggravated offenses. Suppose you are facing charges for aggravated speeding, leaving the scene of an accident or passing a stopped school bus in Chicago, Wheaton, Schaumburg or the surrounding areas. In that case, you need experienced legal representation to protect your rights and future.

These severe traffic violations are not mere inconveniences. They can lead to heavy fines, jail time and long-lasting consequences that affect your life. We are here to provide a robust defense and guide you through the complex legal process.

Aggravated Speeding

In Illinois, aggravated speeding is a criminal offense. You may face charges with this violation if you are caught driving:

  • 26-34 mph over the speed limit (Class B misdemeanor)
  • 35 mph or more over the speed limit (Class A misdemeanor)

The penalties for aggravated speeding can be severe. A conviction may result in:

  • Fines up to $2,500
  • Up to one year in jail
  • Driver’s license suspension
  • A permanent criminal record

These serious charges require a strong legal defense to protect your driving privileges, freedom and future opportunities.

Leaving The Scene Of An Accident

Also known as a hit-and-run, leaving the scene of an accident is a serious offense in Illinois. Whether the accident involved property damage, injury or death, failing to stop and provide necessary information can lead to severe consequences, including:

  • Felony charges
  • Substantial fines
  • Imprisonment
  • Driver’s license revocation

We understand that panic or confusion can lead to poor decisions at the moment, but our experienced attorneys can help you navigate the legal complexities and work toward minimizing the impact on your life.

Passing A Stopped School Bus

The safety of children is paramount, and Illinois law takes violations involving school buses very seriously. Passing a stopped school bus with its stop arm extended is illegal and can result in:

  • Substantial fines
  • Driver’s license suspension
  • Potential jail time for repeat offenders

Even if you make an honest mistake, the consequences can be severe, so it is crucial to have a criminal defense to protect your rights and driving privileges.

The Importance Of A Strong Defense

These traffic violations are more than just tickets – they are criminal charges that can have severe implications. A conviction for serious offenses can result in:

  • A permanent criminal record
  • Difficulty finding employment
  • Challenges in securing housing
  • Limited educational opportunities
  • Financial hardships due to fines and increased insurance rates

Given the severity of these consequences, it is crucial to mount a strong defense. At The Law Offices of Steven R. Roach, we have extensive experience handling complex traffic violation cases.
