Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

You could choose to fight any ticket or offense, winning it is another story, If she was charged with a disorderly persons offense, I believe that the fine is $500.00. If the cup contained an alcoholic beverage, it is a difficult argument. What you and your daughter should do (even if you choose not to retain an attorney) is to go to the Court and speak to the prosecutor. see if the prosecutor is willing to amend the ticket to a lower charge, lesser fine, lower penalties, It always pays to go to the Court to speak to the prosecutor.

as far as your younger daughter, tailgating is a ticket that carries five motor vehilce points. You could take a shot by trying the case based on what you said, but there are severe risks. Having a provisional license creates other problems because she does not yet possess a regular license. , please feel free to contact me should you have any questions (201)-894-9498, I never charge a fee to speak to someone about their case

I would have to see the discovery (evidence) in your older daughter's case, but unless the police did some type of lab test on the drink she had, they may not be able to prove the possession of alcohol charge. As to the tailgating, I can probably get this changed down to a lesser charge. Please contact me to discuss these two matters in detail. I nver hcarge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.
