The Daley Center is the head courthouse for the first district of Cook County, which is divided into numerous branches that make up the criminal and traffic courts in Chicago. Most of the civil matters in Cook County are heard at the Daley Center. Civil matters include such cases as breach of contract and torts such as negligence. But, the Daley Center is also the location for many minor traffic offenses in the City of Chicago as well as other traffic charges that can result in jail time.

Traffic offenses heard at the Daley Center include speeding, failure to obey traffic signals, DUI, driving with a suspended or revoked license and other violations. While many traffic cases result in fines if there is a conviction, some traffic offense convictions can result in a loss of driving privileges, higher insurance rates and large fines. Convictions for driving under the influence or driving while revoked and suspended can land you in jail for a year and also bring a huge fine. As a result, if you have a traffic charge we recommend that you at least consult with a Chicago traffic defense attorney to learn what the possible outcomes are of a conviction or if the charge can be beaten in court.

We can recommend traffic attorneys that appear regularly at the Daley Center. Having an attorney on your side who is familiar with the prosecutors and judges at the Daley Center can only benefit you. It will not guarantee a result but it can make a difference between winning and losing.
