When looking for a driver’s license reinstatement attorney I explored many options in the Will County area. Jack was the most direct and didn’t beat around the bush. He told me exactly what the plan was and I knew he was the right attorney for me. Jack was able to get my restricted driving permit for me on my first attempt at a formal hearing. He prepared me well and answered any questions I had about my hearing and everything leading up to it. I would highly recommend Jack to anyone in need of council in their formal hearing with the secretary of state.

Mr Zaremba took on my case while I lived out of state and was with me every step of the way. He payed a great amount of attention to my needs and delivered in every way. Never once did I feel like I was being pushed to the side or ignored. I highly recommend Jack.

Informal Hearings​

For drivers facing less severe license issues, informal hearings provide a quicker, more streamlined path to reinstatement. We guide you through the process, prepare your documents, and advocate on your behalf to help you get back on the road legally.

Hire this guy! It took me 3 years on my own trying to get my license back. After hiring Jack Zaremba, I was able to get everything straightened in less than 5 months. It took 5 months because the Illinois state took 4 and a half weeks to process my case. He is affordable! Do not do this alone.
