DuPage County Traffic Ticket Attorney — Former Prosecutor Fighting for You

December 4, 2025

When your driver’s license, insurance rates, and peace of mind are on the line, you want an attorney who knows exactly how traffic courts work in DuPage County. I’m Attorney Cynthia Pietrucha, and as a former traffic ticket prosecutor, I have handled and resolved thousands of traffic cases—everything from speeding tickets to criminal misdemeanor charges.

If you missed court, were involved in an accident, or you’re simply terrified of what a ticket might do to your record, you’re in the right place. My practice focuses on helping everyday people protect their license, lower their risk of insurance hikes, and move forward with confidence.

1. Missed Court? Warrant? Conviction Because You Failed to Appear? I Can Fix That.

Traffic court moves fast. Life gets busy. And sometimes you simply forget or misunderstand your court date.
Whether you’re dealing with:

• A Failure to Appear (FTA)
• A suspended license caused by a missed court date
• A warrant/arrest
• A traffic conviction you did not intend to receive

…I can often vacate convictions, quash warrants, and get your case back on track—sometimes within days.

Don’t let one missed date snowball into a crisis. There is a path forward.

2. Tickets After an Accident (Property Damage Only)

If your ticket followed a fender bender or a no-injury collision, the stakes feel even higher. You’re worried about:

• Insurance increases
• Liability
• Whether the officer’s ticket was justified

I routinely handle accident-related traffic tickets and use my prosecutorial background to identify weaknesses in the State’s case and negotiate dismissals, reductions, or supervision—keeping your record clean.

3. Petty Traffic Tickets: No Insurance, No Registration, and Speeding

A simple ticket can have serious consequences. I help clients charged with:

• Driving without insurance
• Driving without registration
• Expired tags
• Petty speeding (1–25 mph over)

Many people don’t realize that even a petty offense can raise insurance premiums for years—or lead to a suspension if unpaid or mishandled. I work to protect your driving record and your wallet.

4. Misdemeanor Speeding (26+ MPH Over) — This Is a Criminal Charge

In Illinois, speeding 26 mph or more over the limit is a misdemeanor, not just a traffic ticket. That means:

• A criminal record
• Possible jail time
• Mandatory court appearance
• Higher insurance premiums
• Long-term employment consequences

As a former prosecutor who has handled thousands of these cases, I understand exactly how misdemeanor speeding charges are evaluated and negotiated in DuPage County. I fight to reduce or dismiss the charge so your future isn’t defined by one moment on the road.

5. Parents: I Also Help Teens with E-Bike Violations & Speeding Tickets

Teen drivers and e-bike riders are facing more enforcement than ever. I help families handle:

• E-bike violations
• Teen speeding tickets
• No-insurance or no-registration tickets for young drivers
• Court appearances when parents want guidance and protection

Parents come to me because I explain the process clearly, reduce anxiety, and work toward outcomes that don’t follow their teen into adulthood.
