New Jersey Traffic Violations Legal Questions

You are required by law to have insurance on a vehicle. You are required by law to have the vehicle registered.

By way of example, you cannotargue that I am innocent because I was not pulled over by the police. However, there are legitimate solutions to your six tickets.

If you live out of state it would be most difficult to fight this ticket. You have a hearing regarding this ticket and the police would testify against you. I would recommend that you hire an attorney and have them downgrade the ticket to a no point violation. I would also recommend that you have your attorney do this via a guilty plea by affidavit. We can help you if you would like us to represent you. Ed Dimon 732-7971 600 or email  edimon@cldds.com.... Read Answer
