Q: I have traffic court date on 07/23/2020, this is the third time the date has moved due to covid 19, I'll be out of state
I have a dupage county traffic court date which is moved to 07/23/2020. I have to move out of state this month. I was hoping to attend in person for requesting second supervision as I got the second ticket while I was on 1st court supervision. I got the second ticket for using cell phone while driving. What are my options? Do I have to be present in person? I have the new job offer letter and new lease info that I signed for proof of my move. Please advise!

A: You need to hire an attorney to appear on your behalf. That attorney will be able to resolve this matter without you having to appear in court, but you need to act now. The sooner you hire an attorney, the better.
