The two lawyers who already responded are both correct, but you could also call your attorney if you have one, or look on any notice from the Court and your case number will be on it
I was trying to avoid 2 points for the speed ticket that was $85. They reduced it to unsafe driving I pleaded guilty for. I ended up paying $439 that included a $250 surcharge. I don’t have any points in the prior 3 years and no ticket. Can the court/prosecutor do this? Just trying to see if I... Read more »
You pled to a no point violation, but it does include the 250 surcharge. If you appeal, you will.wind up with the points.
Depends on the attorney, the level of experience and complexity of your case, but figure anywhere from 2,000-4,000 + Filing fees and other costs.
I had the absolute worst lawyer file my bankruptcy and overcharge me considerably. I don't know why she is so interested in my personal life but I did mention to her how severely discriminated I was at my last job. I thought about suing my previous employer but decided to let it go and... Read more »
The attorney must be sure the Petition is correct and if you left it off, then technically it is perjury. The Attorney could get employed by the Trustee if the Trustee wants him or her to be, so she could get an additional fee.
My bankruptcy lawyer charged me $2500 for a chapter 7 - I don't have any hidden assets or a complicated case. I find out that my brother-in-law paid less than half. So far, I paid her $2000. I still owe $500 in 3 monthly installmants. I had to chase her for everything, and I mean everything. I... Read more »
While I do not condone not paying counsel, I am curious if you have filed the Petition, how she can be collecting on a pre-petition debt when 11 USC 362 says she/he cant. Even counsel fees can be seen pre-petition debt. I have heard of counsel doing this with a broken out Retainer for specific... Read more »
If you were given a ticket for not having on your person while driving a vehicle, pleads not guilty, then on your court date, go to court with the driver license and show it to the prosecutor who should reduce the fine
I was also fine for speeding when am sure not speeding
Plead not guilty and show the Prosecutor the valid NJ Driver's license at the court date. As for the speeding, not enough info to answer
It is a No Point violation according to Motor Vehicle Commission Charts, meaning no points on your license. There is a fine which could range up to about 125.00 with costs included
This is if I happen to plead guilty and just get this over with and this has to do with a careless driving statue in N.J

You don't indicate what your salary is, or if you are a dual income household, or many other items that a good Bankruptcy Counsel will ask. Please seek someone in your state, and don't hesitate to ask for a referral if you... Read more »
Unless, it is a completely private student loan, which most aren't, you can include it but you will not be discharged of them
I know that PL 1991, c 267 did away with contractual tenure for superintendents. Is a Superintendent tenured if he/she remains in the position for more than 7 years?
No, there is no tenure for a superintendent
...wearing a seatbelt, is driving a Wrangler without doors a violation of 39:3-44?
I do not believe driving without the doors if the mirrors are attached to the main body is a violation
No, this single ticket in and of itself would not cause loss of license. I do not know what other tickets are on your license so I can not make a full determination if you are subject to administrative suspension
Can I file on my own did any file for free
YEs, it is possible to file on your own, but free is another story. You will have to file an Application with the Court to waive the filing fee or pay same in installments. I seriously recommend you call Atlantic County Legal Services (if they have such a thing) and see if they can help you. I... Read more »
You are able to file on your own (or Pro Se), but it is dangerous. You do not state where you live, so I cant tell you who to go to, but an example is the Essex County Legal Services which services very lo income. Another possibility is to talk with a lawyer and see what type of fee he/she can do... Read more »

We got a ticket a couple of days ago related to 39:3A-1 (Television screen visible to driver) and was wondering if there were any points related to this violation. The ticket says non-payable offense so will go to the court but we were not sure if there were points that we need to clear up.
As far as I know, this is not a point offense and the fine is discretionary in the amount with the Judge and prosecutor. There is a movement to try and make this a point violation along the lines of a distracted driving offense. Apologize to the Court, and try and get out of there with the lowest... Read more »
