A: You have probably tried to do this yourself already your best bet is to hire a lawyer and let a professional handle it to get you the best results. That being said a lawyer would need to meet you to verify your identity to make sure you're the person that originally got the ticket.

A: I am sorry to know of your family and legal issues. The legal issues are very complicated and are serious so I strongly urge you to retain an attorney . His/her fee will not be cheap but necessary in my opinion. Good luck to you.
