How can I win a case of driving without a license even though an International driving license was issued?
answered on Aug 6, 2019
You probably can't win the case without a good lawyer on your side and even then there is no guarantee. Everything will be based on the facts of your case the defense the attorney can find for you and attorneys experience in handling these cases. That's why I suggest that you get... View More
I got a parking ticket due to a parking sign covered by leaves and the view was obstructed. I didn't see the sign and did not know that section of the street is resident parking permit only from 9am to noon. I got a parking ticket at 11:42am. Do I have a good chance to dismiss my ticket?
answered on Jul 30, 2019
If the sign clearly cannot be seen take a picture of it bring that picture with you to court and you will have a good defense that should win.
Following the direction of the street, the 1st sign states "No parking on Wed and Fri". The 2nd sign states "Residents parking permit only from 9 am to noon, Mon-Fri". The 2nd sign is not conspicuous, is placed next to trees and covered by a lot of leaves. I did not see the 2nd... View More

An attorney would need to take a look at the sign to tell you whether you were properly ticketed I suggest you bring pictures of the sign to a parking ticket lawyer

An attorney would truly need to see the signs with a picture or video to give you an answer as it can depend.

Unfortunately probably not, dismissals are rarely granted based on how quick a case is prosecuted. That being said if your lawyer can show prejudice it may happen. in any event you should have a lawyer this is a serious charge where you can lose your license and if you have

hit a cyclist stopped my car and checked he was ok. He was fine just complained bike was damaged. No police called I didn’t make any police report. I now received a hit and run letter from a lawyer claiming property damage. What do I do. The cyclist came out in front of me on a roundabout.
answered on Jul 25, 2019
If charged by the police get yourself a good Criminal lawyer you will be facing loss of your license and jail time. If not charged but just received a letter from a lawyer notify your insurance company and if you didn't have insurance or enough insurance hire your own lawyer to defend the case.
License was suspended for failure to appear in court/ paying off a ticket however I did pay the ticket but it was late. I was told to appear in court for driving with a suspended license. What are the next steps
answered on Jul 24, 2019
Your next step should be to hire a good lawyer. Your not required to be given notice for a judge ordered suspension which is what you had.

Unless this is your third offense or you drive for a living, generally best just to pay it and not waste your day in court. A third offense has up to 90 days suspension of your license so that one you need to fight and then I also suggest hiring a good lawyer.
If I were to purchase a car from a private seller that lives couple hours away do I have to get it registered first before driving it home or would I be okay without license plates for a day?

We got a ticket a couple of days ago related to 39:3A-1 (Television screen visible to driver) and was wondering if there were any points related to this violation. The ticket says non-payable offense so will go to the court but we were not sure if there were points that we need to clear up.
answered on Jul 11, 2019
As far as I know, this is not a point offense and the fine is discretionary in the amount with the Judge and prosecutor. There is a movement to try and make this a point violation along the lines of a distracted driving offense. Apologize to the Court, and try and get out of there with the lowest... View More
