The Aggravated Unlicensed (VTL 511) is a misdemeanor, so you are in criminal court rather than traffic court. Get an attorney! You will have to deal with the previous ticket before you can have any chance of having the 511 Aggravated Unlicensed reduced and to get your license back. You'll also have to pay at least 1 lift fee.
