Re: Car accident 1st

I would suggest you hire an attorney to help with this. They can properly prepare a defense for you in court, and would then be able to perhaps plead the ticket to a different charge.

I would be happy to follow up with you. Please email me directly or call my office if you would like to schedule an appointment either in person or by telephone. My contact information is listed in the links below.

Re: Car accident 1st

I agree with the other attorneys. I would strongly suggest getting an attorney, especially for this type of issue.

My initial consultations are alwasys free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case. I have an office in Toms River but I realize thats still kinda far from you. If you want, we could just discuss this over the phone so you don't have to make the trip.
