Q: How do I rectify a traffic ticket that is 2 years old? I missed my court date but no warrant was issued.
In fall 2021, I received a ticket for driving without insurance. I had insurance at the time but only the previous paperwork was in the car. I check for two months after receiving the ticket for my court date but it never showed up on case.net. Several months later, I noticed that there had been a court date that I had missed. No warrant was issued and no action has been taken at this time. Is there anything I can do to resolve this ticket? I still have the ticket but can't get the paperwork from my insurance as I now have a different car.
A: You can hire a traffic ticket lawyer to represent you and resolve the old traffic ticket. The attorney can confirm that you don't have a warrant, and they can also get your "No Proof of Insurance" ticket dismissed if you have proof that your vehicle was insured on the date when you were pulled over. You won't have to appear in court or pay a fine.
