You are facing up to 30 days in jail and a 6 months mandatory loss of license if you are convicted of leaving the scene of an accident in NJ. I thus must suggest that you hire a good lawyer. Unfortunately, in NJ a presumption exists that if you damage a vehicle with $250.00 or more worth of... View More

There was no appropriate signage indicating that parking was prohibited, and I took photos of the area to show this.

It is going to depend on why she lied to the officer and why she gave her sister's name. It is going to depend on who you get to represent her and his/her relationship with the Prosecutor of that town. Please get her a lawyer familiar with that Towns Prosecutor

I was double parked getting ready to park my vehicle but could not due so because pedestrians were crossing the street through the parking spot. The officer pulled up behind me with NO INDICATION of stopping me or pulling me over. Only when i proceeded to position myself to park he flashed his... View More

answered on Jan 30, 2025
The fact is he was probably running your license plate and seeing who the driver was prior to putting on his lights, you were probably going to get the ticket anyway because double parking is impeding traffic. That being said a video if the incident probably exists including a BWC to see exactly... View More
If there is no measurable or quantifiable definition of "improper" defined in the law, then it is subjective or an opinion. How can a law be enforced based on an opinion?
In the eyes of immigration. When the day comes for me to renew my permanent residency or become a citizen. Will I have a problem? Will I get deported? Do I have a criminal record?

answered on Jan 15, 2025
Having your case dismissed through prosecutorial discretion is positive news, as it means there was no conviction entered on your record. When a case is dismissed, it generally does not count as a criminal conviction that would affect your immigration status.
For immigration purposes, what... View More
The pedestrian was not in or near the crosswalk as I turned. They stepped in as I turned, and it was too late for me to stop; otherwise, I would have been in the middle of the crosswalk. I was alone in my car. Can I fight this ticket?

answered on Dec 20, 2024
Yes you can fight this ticket, but I would definitely suggest a good lawyer as these are hard tickets to fight. Unfortunately the fact that the person stepped in the crosswalk meant that you needed to immediately stop and yield to the pedestrian.
I am a NJ driver and met with an accident with a 18 wheeler trailer truck. I was not at fault.

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. The ticket that the person received was mailed, because the officer that signed the ticket was not present at the alleged violation event. The officer... View More

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. You may be looking at the old law as prior to 2020 it was a zero point ticket. Most of us traffic ticket lawyers offer a free in office... View More

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
Cop only had lights on no sound and no emergency, just to give tickets i guess. I was driving behind numerous cars all who were going faster and did not move over as well. only i got stopped. what can i do. any points for this

answered on Sep 7, 2024
Failure to yield to an emergency vehicle in NJ is a 2 point ticket with an up to $200.00 fine. If you want to get rid of the points, I would suggest a hiring a good lawyer. Just so you know the law, the law only requires the cop or other emergency vehicle to have its emergency lights on. No... View More
I got pulled over going 37 in a 25 non school zone. Cop said the 35mph started further down the road. He took my license, registration, and insurance and was in his car for less than 2 minutes when he returned them to me. He did not issue me a ticket. Will I receive one in the mail? Happened in...

answered on May 23, 2024
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.
4 pm until 7 pm why was I giving a ticket ?

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. An attorney can always help make sure you are not being taken advantage of in traffic Court. If their is a way to get... View More
