In Illinois, if you please guilty to a DUI in order to receive a lesser sentence, you will likely have to complete alcohol classes, and pay fines and court costs prior to the discharge of your case. The court will usually give you around 12 months to complete the classes and pay the required fines in order to comply with the plea agreement. However, our law firm many times receives a call from the client just before the next court date stating that they could not complete the classes for whatever reason. Typically, if you have completed some or a majority of the classes, the judge can grant you a continue, which is usually 60-90 days so you can finish the court requirements. It is important to show the court you are attempting to complete the classes and evaluation in order to be granted an extension. Otherwise, the court can reject the agreed upon plea deal and the state's attorney can seek stiffer penalties.
