A traffic ticket issued on the basis of registration probably is going to be hard to prove, so long as you keep you mouth shut. You need an attorney.

Call me if you like.

First, NJ like most states, can really 'suck', and the fact is, MOST of the time you get the best result using an attorney. Second, If you we being bad, well, sometimes you get caught. If you weren't really doing anything wrong, it seems like adding insult to injury, having to pay for an attorney, but life is not fair. Third, if th eticket is in your father's name, perhaps he should go to court and speak with the prosecutor first to see what he says about HE received the ticket when he was not there at that time... There is a SMALL chance he could get it dismissed, VERY small. If that does not work, he will have to tell them you had his car that day, and they should issue a corrected ticket in your name. If you want to, you can go to court and speak with the prosecutor first to see what he says about WHY you received the ticket, and if you do not get it down to a no-points ticket, ask for time to get an attorney and go back to court. An attorney VERY often will get a better result than you could get on your own, though there are LOTS-O-variables. I do a couple tickets a month, usually for existing clients, and if I can get the prosecutor to laugh (prosecuting is a boring thankless job), I tell 'em that's worth 2-points right there, and I usually get it! Just my suggestion. Good luck.

Re: Reckless driving ticket in mail. Wasnt pulled over

This is a five point ticket. If it was issued to your father, even if he wasn't the driver, he MUST appear in court along with you. If he does not appear the judge can issue a warrant for his arrest for failure to appear in court. If your father convinces the prosecutor that he was not the driver, then he can get the judge to dismiss the ticket against him and reissue it to you. Regarding hiring a lawyer, since you are looking at a large number of points and issues involving identity of the driver, and since you say you don't know exactly what you were doing wrong, I would strongly suggest that you hire a lawyer. A lawyer can probably get the points redueced substantially below what you are currently facing, and may even be able to get the ticket itself dismissed. I am an attorney who has handled very many cases similar to yours in various courts throughout New Jersey in the past. I would like to discuss this case with you in more detail. Please contact me at your convenience. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

Re: Reckless driving ticket in mail. Wasnt pulled over

The problem here is, you have no idea why you got the ticket. I suggest that your father go to court and ask the prosecutor what the ticket is about. I wouldn't spend any money on an attorney until you figure out what is going on.

Once you find out who is accused of doing what, then you can decide if you need an attorney. I practice in Cherry Hill, so call me if you need anything.
