You are not going to jail. You absolutely DO need legal representation.

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.
Can I expect my license to be suspended? I was driving my regular car and have never even been pulled over. What are my chances to getting as less points or insurance premiums going up?

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.
My road is maintained by the State of Ky (snow removal, paving, etc) and is considered a state road for whatever reason. I've been told by a local attorney that they can't write me street sweeper ticket for parking on it during sweeper hours. Is this true?

Depends on whether you were present when the parking ticket was written.
I'm 20 years old and I was arrested for 26 mph over, reckless driving, failure to show insurance card, and failure to maintain insurance. I was in my mothers car and was not on their insurance. This is my first offense, first time I've ever had anything go against my driving record.... View More

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... View More

You need to hire a lawyer to redocket both asap and try and limit your exposure. You can be punished for being behind on support and the custodian can be punished for breaking the court order, but they are separate and distinct issues independent of each other.

Contact the investigating officer, explain your situation, and see if he will release it. He may since you are innocent and pictures of the damage will suffice as evidence. If he won’t release it, hire a lawyer to get it back for you. The judge can order it released to you.

In Kentucky they do not transfer for out of state tickets. You should consult and attorney in Ohio to see about getting the speeding ticket reduced for you.
I need an attorney? I haven't had a moving violation in over 10 yrs. I don't want my insurance rates to rise.

You should hire an attorney in Missouri to try to have the charge amended for you. Simply paying it will not preserve your insurance premiums.

Yes. You might call and talk to the clerks office or the prosecutor, but short of resolving it that way you will have to show up since you missed your spay date.
answered on Apr 16, 2018
Depends on which county you live in, but probably something along the lines of an amendment to a lesser charge, a fine and court costs, and a referral to state traffic school so you don’t lose any points on your license and so it doesn’t impact your insurance.
I was sitting at a gas station out of the car and The Cop ran the car tag Then told me to come and talk to him I told him it wasn’t my car this was the only day I drove But I did not know that it didn’t have tags or insurance The person who owned the car sold it what should I do
answered on Apr 16, 2018
If the officer didn’t see you operating the vehicle, the no insurance should be dismissed because misdemeanors have to be committed in their presence. You can go to the county clerks office and get a printout showing that the car has been sold or transferred and that should take care of the... View More

Generally as to the other vehicle, the policy covering the car is primary, driver of daughters car secondary.
Daughter needs to see if she got a notice of cancellation. If not, may be able to claim coverage--would have to speak with a member of the Ky Assn for Justice that handles bad faith... View More

Not enough information. Best plan is to get a private lawyer, or a public defender, to sort it out.
Plus, this is a police report, which is NOT an admissible piece of evidence. It is a report, after the fact, stating the hearsay "versions" of both sides. If you feel you are not at... View More
I showed proof of insurance at the beginning of April so rhe judge dis missed the charge. But now they have redocketed my case.
answered on Apr 26, 2017
If it's the same charge, it's either a mistake or they found out that you did not have valid insurance.
I have run a public record check. I am attempting to interpret the number under my name. This seems to be in Christian county.
I was told by the car rental people that I was insured all along despite never being told where to locate my insurance documents. I now have a court date coming up and am unsure what to expect.
answered on Nov 22, 2016
Depends what you were charged with. If it was obvious it was a rental officer should have suggested you look at the document. Either way assuming your ticket is for no insurance you need to bring proof there was insurance.If you were hit by someone else why not get a free consult from a member of... View More
