Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

My friend had a driving fine from New Jersey for $81 from over 3 years ago. When he tried to renew or get his driver's license recently here in Arizona, they told him at th DMV that he had an outstanding fine in New Jersey. I helped my friend out and paid the fine with my debit card by phone. I though everything was taken care of so he could get his driver's license, but no. That still did not clear with the DMV. So he call the court in NJ that handled the fine and said that he still had to appear in cout in NJ to get everything cleared to get his license. Does that sound right? For a small fine here in AZ I can just send in the money. How can he get this cleared without flying to NJ? He doesn't have that kind of money and he really needs his license cleared so he can get a job?

Thank you.

Any competent Municipal Court attorney can help you with this. However, I would need to know more information so that can contact the Court to know exactly what your friend is dealing with. An attorney can work out your friends case by affidavit so that he would not have to appear. Pllease feel free to contact me for a free consultation. My rates are extremely reasonable. I have well over twenty years experience handling Municipal Court matters and would be happy to speak to you or your friend about this situation. (201)-894-9498
