More details to this question:
Why does an individual have to appear in court for a $65 unsafe backing ticket if they live out of state? Seems ridiculous to have to go back for a $65 ticket

Most Colorado courts are now doing court appearances by video - so it seems to me you can 'appear' from your home where ever it is. Certainly if you hire a lawyer they should be able to take care of it. Was the ticket not issued as a 'penalty assessment' where you can just pay it within 20 days and get reduced points? Did you fail to appear at the intial court date so there is a 'failure to appear' warrant? I'd be willing to talk to you about this and see if I can talk you through getting it done without coming to Colorado. Possibly if you just contact the court clerk you can work it out that way.
