At the Law Office of Peter A. Buh, we assist Aurora drivers in restoring their licenses through personalized legal representation and a comprehensive understanding of Illinois reinstatement laws.
Attorney Peter A. Buh brings over 30 years of experience to every case, including prior service as a prosecutor and extensive experience representing clients through Secretary of State hearings. Our firm’s practice is focused almost entirely on driver’s license reinstatement and revocation cases, giving you a knowledgeable partner who knows what it takes to get your driving privileges back.
If your driver’s license has been revoked, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate the reinstatement process by yourself. Our firm has helped countless Aurora residents regain their licenses after revocations related to DUI offenses, reckless driving, or other serious traffic violations.
We understand that driving is essential in Aurora, from commuting along the Fox Valley area to traveling to work in nearby cities. That’s why our team works hard to help you achieve reinstatement. We’ll handle every stage of the process for you—preparing your case, collecting documentation, and representing you at hearings—so you can focus on moving forward.
To make your experience as simple and affordable as possible, we offer:
Flexible Scheduling: Book evening and weekend appointments, as needed.
When your license has been revoked, your livelihood, family life, and personal freedom are all affected. Our legal team helps you take back control by identifying the best route to restoring your driving privileges. We review your driving abstract, explain your legal standing, and prepare a clear plan of action to help you move toward reinstatement. We manage every step of your case: from preparing for Secretary of State hearings to gathering treatment records, evaluation results, and letters of recommendation that demonstrate your rehabilitation. Whether your revocation resulted from a DUI, repeated traffic offenses, or other violations, we build a strategy that shows your responsibility and compliance. Attorney Peter Buh personally guides you through the process, ensuring clear communication and a consistent, confident approach at every stage.
Reinstating your Illinois driver’s license can be confusing, especially if you’ve previously faced denials or long waiting periods. Our firm takes the guesswork out of the process. We review your eligibility, collect all required documents, and prepare you for either a formal or informal hearing (depending on the severity of your case). We also handle communication with the Secretary of State’s office, ensuring that every piece of paperwork, evaluation, and certification meets the agency’s standards. If you qualify for a Restricted Driving Permit (RDP), we may pursue that option first, so you can continue driving legally for work, school, or family responsibilities while full reinstatement is pending. Our goal is to help you get past this obstacle as quickly as possible, with complete peace of mind.
