Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

Generally speaking, the traffic warrent process rarely results in people going to jail.

The Court wants your money, not you.

That is not to say that this is something that can be ignored. Your license is probably suspended for failing to appear, meaning if you are stopped it will be a HUGE problem.

It sounds like you have a valid defense to the ticket and you should have a lawyer help you get this resolved. My office has been representing people at low cost for more than 15 years, so feel free to write back or call if you want some help.

You need to contact the court to see if there is a bail on the warrant. Once the bail is paid the warrant will be lifted. Then you can go to court to explain that someone else was driving your car at the time and who that person was. It would be a good idea to have the asistance of a lawyer. I would charge you a reasonable fee which I would be glad to discuss with you on the telephone.

Call me if you like.

The 'friend' might have told the police that she was you!

You should take action now, do not wait. You could be arrested at any time. Take action now!

You need to call the Court where the warrant was issued, and ask how much the bail money is.

You then go to that Court, pay the bail money, and they will give you a new date to go back to court and face the charges.

You must go to that new court date or you will have huge problems.

A lawyer can help you a lot in this situation. Call me if you like, and I will see what I can do to assist you. The cost for me to go to court with you will be reasonable, and I may save you a lot of problems.

Hello - Based on the facts you provided, this should be relatively easy to resolve. Contact the court to find out how much bail is owed and pay it. When you go to court and are able to demonstrate that it was not you driving the car, it is likely that much of the bail will be returned. It is possible that you will receive a fine for contempt, depending of course on how long this ticket has been outstanding, but will likely be much less than the money owed on bail.

I can help you resolve this if you�d like. See my contact number below or email me at [email protected].
