Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

Re: drug offence-trouble reinstating drivers license-court filing mistake

...You indicate that you already have an attorney handling this case for you.

If you do not understand what is going on in this case or what your attorney's plan of action is, then you need to consult with your attorney and get answers that you can understand.

If you are unsatisfied with your attorney's answers, then you need to retain another attorney for a consultation as soon as possible.

It is not possible to provide more of an answer over the Internet. Your case has an involved history and before attempting to comment specifically your attorney would have to review all relevant facts and circumstances.

I strongly recommend that you consult with an attorney immediately so that you can explore your legal rights, obligations, and options. If you wish to discuss retaining my services, contact me at:

Re: drug offence-trouble reinstating drivers license-court filing mistake

The $500.00 is most likely a bail to be posted for failure to appear on the drug charge. I realize that you thought this was taken care of, but for some reason the court computer is not showing it as being completed, and there was probably a court date set that you were unaware of and therefore missed. From that the $500.00 bail arose. If this is what the $500.00 is for, then the only way you can get a court date is by posting the $500.00 bail. On the other hand, it could have been caused by failure to make a timely payment on the charge itself if you were convicted of the charge. For that too you must still post the $500.00 bail to get a new court date. You should call the court clerk and find out if the $500.00 is a bail payment that needs to be made to confirm what I just said. Once the $500.00 is posted, then you will probably get a new court date within 30-60 days. As to getting your license restored, that is something you need to discuss with the division of motor vehicles in the state where you live to see what you need to do to get restored.
