A dwi does not require the police to actually see you drive, it only requires you to have the ability to drive the vehicle. It's crazy but that is the law, its different from the wording of the offense and thus confuses people.

Unfortunately we would not know the answer for your question, without seeing your tickets, the police report of your case and by having you giving us a fuller explanation of your interaction with the police to have caused them to charge you with an offense.

Sure you can sue but the amount you will recover will depend on how badly you were injured, speak with a lawyer to determine what your best options are.
October 2022 I was involved in a car accident. Hit 3 juveniles. Charges with 3 account of attempted murder and three accounts of agg assault. I was released on house arrest. But I haven’t been to court since being released. My court date if October 2023. I wasn’t indicted yet.
answered on Sep 23, 2023
Most likely you have been indicted and your attorney just didn't tell you yet (not good). Obviously it can always be a mistake by the clerk of the court, but that is rare and in 30 years of practice this has never happened in one of my cases.
I sped 100 in a 70 traveling in Pennsylvania I am a New Jersey resident. However, the cop wrote the ticket for 75 in a 70. In the confidential information section he wrote "100 in a 70". Could that be used against me in court? He also gave me a careless Driving citation.

answered on Aug 6, 2023
The officer is correct. The card is supposed to show your a supporter and is really for your own use, not a get out of ticket free card.
answered on Aug 2, 2023
Yes the officer does have the authority to give you a ticket. If you got one hire a good lawyer in most cases a good lawyer can help to reduce or eliminate the penalties that you face.

My vehicle was towed in NJ and a few weeks after getting the vehicle back when opening the back of the truck there were over 10K of mechanic tools that were stolen. What kind of lawyer handles this kind of case and how long can you file suit?
answered on Apr 4, 2023
Generally you would want a civil litigation lawyer to handle this type of matter. But even if you call the wrong lawyer many times they can refer you to someone who does.
My husband is the defendant and now I've been told, I would be a witness in this case. Will the prosecutor's office contact me to go over my testimony or should I contact them?
answered on Mar 24, 2023
Generally the prosecutor will contact you, but lots of time they don't contact you until the day of court. They don't really go over you testimony with you, but do ask some questions if they are interested in pursing the case. For that you may want your own private lawyer.

It gives me an address in Chicago where the accident happened, but I’ve never been to Chicago, nor have my vehicles. They want me to call them with my insurance or forward the letter to them. What do I do?

Much more information would be needed to properly answer your question such as was the accident a covered event under your insurance, Did someone drive your car to Chicago, Was your car stolen etc. Speak with a lawyer or if you have insurance for this event your insurance company.
