New Jersey  |  Traffic Law

The correct procedure is to ask for the dismissal of the case the next time the officer fails to appear and if the request is denied by the judge, ask the to set a date on which the case has to

be tried or dismissed. This approach works better with a lawyer.

Call me if you like.

I guess you see why people bring lawyers to Court....especially in cases that appear to be somewhat serious. I seem to think your son may have a lot at stake here, and that is why the prosecutor doesn't want to let it go.

In any event, you need to appear at least two more times. Once to see if the officer shows (if not, you can request a reason why he hasn't attended and demand it be tried) and then the next time to get it disposed of, one way or the other.

If you want to discuss this, feel free to write back or call me direct.
