A statute of limitations prevents the state from CHARGING you after a specific period from the alleged crime. If you are arrested, you can be charged until the period of the statute of limitations has expired. On the other hand, if you are arrested but not charged, you can seek to be released.

No, when you were ticketed, the bike was not registered, so you are guilty. But if you get it registered before the hearing date, it is possible that the charges could be dropped.

My question is, does it matter if I hire a lawyer out of state?
I know a good lawyer in New Jersey, but I am living in Florida.

Your lawyer cannot practice in a state in which he is not licensed. It's probably not practicing law to negotiate a payment if no suit has been filed, but the choice must be made by the attorney.

You may be able to reinstate the LLC by paying the required amount to the Department of Corporations. If that's possible and the LLC is once again active, you may be able to negotiate the check. Checks have an expiration date, so you don't want to wait too long.

A lawyer cannot "claim" it for you, but can help you navigate this transaction. I recommend contacting the county or whomever issued you the check to re-issue it to you individually in your name. If that does not work, you may need a lawyer to figure out next steps.
