Q: I received a $50 trespassing on railroad property ticket in north Bergen new Jersey back in 2016.
For not paying I received a warrant and had my license suspended. Would I still have the warrant and would I be able to work on getting my license back?
A: It’s very unlikely that the warrant would have been rescinded without being addressed. You should contact the court to find out how you might go about handling the warrant, and the original ticket (though if it’s trespassing, it’s probably not simply a ticket you can pay but a lower level criminal offense that needs to be resolved), which would be steps toward getting your license unsuspended. Your best option would be to call an experienced criminal defense attorney who handles matters like this all the time and can no doubt streamline the process while resolving it to your benefit.
