You better pay off your old tickets and bring the receipts to court. Don't drive to the court. Be ready to pay the $125 reinstatement fee for your license. Definitely get a court appointed attorney.

You could have saved yourself a lot of grief and money if you had paid attention when you got the tickets. The lame excuses in your post won't be persuasive.
