Answered on Jan 14, 2019
You definitely need an attorney to clean this up. There are several things you can possibly do but first you need the bench warrant set aside and a new court date.
Q: They also suspended my DL licences so im not driving right now. Will they give me my lisence back. I have my auto tags
It all depends on WHY your license was suspended, but there are likely ways for you to have it reinstated.
Q: I got a citation for expired tags
Get your tags corrected and take them to the district clerks office and they should be able to resolve it for you.
Q: Can I get a drivers license in Georgia, if I have a suspended license for unpaid taxes in Kentucky?
No. Both states are on the National Register, meaning Georgia will see your Kentucky license suspension and refuse to issue you a license until the suspension in Kentucky is resolved.
Q: Do you think I will lose my Drivers License?
It depends on what county you received the ticket in. Each county handles cases differently. Speeding 26 Over it great is a suspension level ticket and you should hire an attorney.
Q: I was pulled over for failure to give right of way to an emergency vehicle. Says I have to show to to court?
No. You cannot pay the ticket and not appear in court. You can, however, hire an attorney to appear for you in that court and possibly resolve it without you coming to court.
Q: Can I get out of my speeding ticket or get no points?
27 over is a suspension level ticket. It depends on where you got the ticket as to what the resolution may be. In any event, you need a lawyer rather than handling it yourself.
Q: I went to court for driving while suspended. I was never ask to plead guilty or innocent. Can judge still make a ruling
He can make a ruling but he hasn’t yet. Get your license reinstated, go back in November and show the court it has been reinstated, and they will likely either dismiss it as corrected or amend it t a lesser, non suspendable offense.
Q: I got pulled over for no seat belt. No ticket was given but a court date. Will i get a ticket in court
I think you already gave a ticket and he just didn’t give you a copy. Call the district court clerks office in your county and ask them for the charges.
Q: Received a ticket in Louisville for 83 in 55 MPH. I have a CDL license and have nothing else in records.
Can likely get your charge amended so as not to lose any points or affect your insurance. You do need a lawyer for this kind of case.
Q: hello, I was wondering if you could offer me some help in preparing for an upcoming trial.
Insurance follows the car, not the person. If there was insurance on the car when you were operating it, the no insurance charge should be dismissed. The failure to produce insurance card will not affect your license or your insurance. The only charge you need to focus on is 26 over bc it is a dispensable offense. If you can get it reduced to 25 or less over, you can go to traffic school and not lose your license or affect your insurance.
