I’m not sure what your question is but you need to hire an attorney and get these bench warrants taken care of. You don’t want to get arrested or lose your license over things that can’t be taken care of in court.

In Kentucky you will likely expect an offer that includes pleading guilty to a charge of speeding 26 mph greater. Your license in Kentucky would be subject to a probation or suspension hearing. Since you’re out of state you could also face restrictions through your state department of... View More 
I got clocked going 71 in a 55 but he only cited me 5 over the limit. The 5 miles over limit is just $5 but court cost is $140. He said if I prepay the ticket, I don't have to go to court. So Do I have to pay the court cost as well when I prepay, even if I do not have to go to court?
I didn’t know the speed limit was 25 and the cop said I didn’t use my turn signal but I did and as I was turning in the next lane the person started speeding up when I had enough room to turn
Not sure what to expect when I contact the court

Call the clerk snd ask them to redocket the case for you on a specific date and time.
I would like to represent myself at trial due to it being false. What is the first step to take? And what can I do to show I am really telling the truth over the officer's story?

If you were going 75 in a 70 then you are still speeding and depending whether or not there is a bump in a fine for excessive speeding, more likely than not, you have the same consequences. My suggestion is that you contact a few traffic ticket attorneys in the jurisdiction/area the ticket was... View More

Hire a lawyer to handle your case so you don’t go back to jail and resolve it once and for all.

No. The video of the stop should solve the jurisdiction issue.
Also do I need a lawyer
answered on Jun 8, 2021
You need to hire a competent attorney immediately. You very well could lose your license.
I have never gotten a ticket before but my ticket has a court date on it. Do I need to get a lawyer? Could I get my license taken away?
answered on Jun 5, 2021
Yes. You need to get a lawyer. Yes. You could lose your license, but if you hire a lawyer, you likely will not lose them.
I was doing 80mph on a 40mph speed limit and got charged for that and got charged for careless driving. I've never gotten a ticket before and this was my first offense. When they pulled me over on the spot they didn't take my license away or have me arrested. And I got a non prepayable... View More

If you have to plead to that speed you will be subject to a license hearing where you will either get probation or suspension. If you have no record and you have an attorney you have a decent chance at probation rather than license suspension.
I have a clean driving record and have never been pulled over before. I am very worried. I could lose my job if I have points on my license.

It will probably be amended down and then you’ll likely be sent to traffic school, where you don’t lose any points or face any insurance ramifications!!
No seatbelt, suspended license (which was new to me), no insurance, no registration plates. The officer didn't handcuff me and im assuming it was because of my carseat. Am I just going to pay a fee? If so, how much?
answered on May 3, 2021
If you have proof that you had a valid license and insurance you are not looking at any jail time. If anything was suspended or lapsed at the time you were pulled over you need to get it renewed before court. I would contact an experienced Attorney to help represent you and minimize your exposure.
Had expired insurance from where I moved I had not received updated ones yet and I have to change address on my license witch is all taken care of.
Officer pulled me over for going 95 on a 65 empty highway, only cited me for 5 over and expired plates.
Already renewed plates, what should I do and what will happen, I have a spotless record.

The officer did you a favor by reducing your violation to only 5 over the speed limit and it is great that you took care of the paper violation (expired plates). You can either do this yourself, or you can hire an attorney to represent you when you go to court to see if the prosecutor will be... View More
Im an out of state college student who was traveling south for the weekend. Picked off by a state trooper on an empty highway. Squeaky clean record prior to this. What are my best options and outcomes? Is Trial by Declaration offered in Kentucky?
answered on Apr 14, 2021
I recommend searching for traffic ticket/criminal defense lawyers in the area where the ticket was issued. Contact a few, discuss your circumstances, obtain your options and then proceed accordingly. Good luck.
Court date to July is there a way I can show I had valid insurance at the time to prepay? I’m trying to enlist into the navy and I won’t be able to enlist till I get the case closed!
answered on Apr 12, 2021
You can hire a lawyer snd they can advance it on the docket. If you have proof of insurance at the time, the case should be dismissed.
good record till that first pulled over
I missed a court date for a traffic ticket because there was absolutely positively no way I could freely take an “off day” at work that day and I couldn’t afford an attorney either. Now I’m being threatened with having my license suspended in 30 days if the case isn’t closed by then.... View More
