He took his classes and evaluation at least twice. First eval was thrown out because the examiner passed away before court date. He took the course a second time, his lawyer took his fee but didn't really present much of a case, summarily dismissed in 5 minutes. Brother is out of work due to lack of transportation for 5 years now. He was sole income for himself and his aged mom, they are in danger of losing the house. Mom drives for them but is losing her eyesight. DUI was 3rd, simple alcohol, no accidents or injuries. He's been sober 7 years now. Q: can he appeal successfully for at least a limited (to work only) license, based on the length of time elapsed and the need to work, without a third or fourth repeat of the classes and evaluations he can no longer afford? Any other tactic to try? replies to: msu1049321@aol.com

I do not know about Chicago. But some places do not have limited use
licenses. In NJ there is no limited license. If you lose it, it is
gone for the long haul. In NY they do have limited licenses. A call
to the court will answer if IL will give limited licenses. And you
can try and re-appear before the judge to see if there is anything
that he can do about the class. But when the law says that you need a
class to get your license back, then you must complete the class.
Hope that helps.
