Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

Re: motor vehical violations NJ

You will definitely need to take care of them. We may be able to do it locally for you. We can make a motion to appear for you in absentia.

Re: motor vehical violations NJ

The Statute of Limitations does not apply to cases where you have been charged and then fled the state. It only applies where you have not been charged. Sometimes charges will be dismissed because they haven't been resolved within a certain time, but when it is the defendant who has failed to appear to resolve the charges, the defendant is not in a position to ask for dismissal based on time.

This means of course that your violations will not resolve themselves. Depending on how serious they are, you may simply want to pay them. If they are serious, you may want to contest them. The bright spot, if there is one, is that there aren't many officers still working who were writing violations in 1985. 1997 is more of a crapshoot. Even if the officers are still working, their memories may have dimmed, and evidence may have been lost or destroyed.

If you intend to just pay the violations, you can contact the courts and arrange to plead guilty by affidavit, and remit the fines. If you want to contest them, you will have to post bail in each town that so requires, have the matters listed, and most likely, appear for trial. A good lawyer can be of much help in this process.

Typically, your New Jersey driving privileges have probably been suspended and warrants issued for your arrest. Once the summonses are issued you absence changes nothing. On the other hand there will probably be greater difficulty proving your guilt after all these years.

I can schedule all of your cases and appear on each of them without your presence, using an affidavit authorizing me to appear and act on your behalf which I would prepare and email to you so that you could print same; sign same before a notary public and mail back to me.

Call me if you like.

To just echo what everyone else said, yes, you should take care of them and you probably won't even have to show up. I would want to do a full check on you to make sure no warrants exist and that nothing else is out there.

My initial consultations are always free, so call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss your case.

Once a charge has brought the statute of limitations is no longer an issue provided that the charge was asserted within the limitations period for the offense. These vary with the offense from 30 days to several months for most offenses.

I have handled such offenses for people residing in Florida and they usually need to clear the NJ charges before getting their FL driver license. This can be done without returning to NJ using an attorney in most instances but it can be done.

On old charges, the evidence is often is missing or the people needed to prosecute successfully are no longer around. Sometimes the court will assess a penalty for contempt and dismiss the underlying charges.

The offense of driving without a license varies. Did you ever have a lecense or was it expired, suspended or revoked? All these issues matter. Please contact me if this problem is still hanging over your head. It is long enough to have this unresolved matter clouding your mind.
