My friend was driving without a license and given a ticket. I’m assuming she also got a court date but she missed it and never received anything in the mail because she moved to a new address. Because she missed the court date, she now has a warrant and we would like to know how she can get rid... View More

A good lawyer can help your friend by turning her into the court and thus keeping here most likely out of jail on the warrant, then a new court date will be set. That being said, based on what she is charged with again a good lawyer may be able to help keep her out of jail on the original charges.... View More
The violation is failure to change lanes for an emergency vehicle. This is very serious. However, it is classified as a zero-point violation.

Failure to change lanes 39:4-92.2 which should be the violation your charged with has 2 points. I suggest hiring a lawyer to try to get these points reduced.

Given that you were pulled over and informed of the outstanding warrant (by a cop), it's presumed that you were arrested and posted a bond when released. You will want to contact the local court (most likely a municipal court if NJ) for a new court date. You WILL need to take care of this... View More

I got pulled over going 37 in a 25 non school zone. Cop said the 35mph started further down the road.

Your guess is as good as mine on whether you will get a ticket in the mail as the cop has up to 30 days to write up a ticket for speeding. If you do get one hire one of us Attorneys to have the best chance to eliminate the points for you.
I am a delivery driver so i was parked on a street in my town and i realized the cop behind me. I thought it was him just doing routine patrolling but now I understand he was probably looking me up. I entered my car again and went back on two separate highways briefly to drive back to my job, and... View More

Yes the ticket is legal you may be able to fight it but it would probably be considered a clerical error at best. Get yourself a good lawyer most of us offer free in office consultations and we should be able to help you get the result you want. Just make sure you get a good lawyer.

answered on Apr 7, 2024
That is a good question and you and your lawyer if your smart and hire one will find out in court or in the discovery that your lawyer will order. Because based on what your saying you shouldn't have gotten the ticket, but maybe he will testify in court that you were doing something else... View More

So this ticket is not for the car not having insurance, but for the driver being unable to display insurance information at the time of the stop. Therefore it is not so clean cut.
