Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

I recently received a driving while license is suspended ticket and a driving without a license ticket, this is my second offense. I had a warrant out for the first one which I now have a court date of 10/28/14. And the court date for the ticket I just received is 10/21/14. I was told that now that I don't have the warrants against me I was told that If I went and reinstated my license and postponed the court date for the seconds offense until after the court date for the first offense that there is a good chance that they would drop the second offense tickets.

any help on this matter would be great. thank you

If I am following you correctly you received a Driving While Suspended in both Cases. It would pay for you to have your license restored for both cases. Why were you suspended? It is not a given that they will dismiss your case but it may help in potentially resolving one or both cases. The penalties are also fairly serious. A first offense for DWS is a $500 fine plus a possible suspension. A second offense carries a $750 fine, 1 to 5 days in jail and a further suspension of your Drivers license. A third offense carries a $1000.00 fine, 10 days in jail and a further suspension for up to another six months. You may want to get the second case adjourned until you speak to a lawyer.
