Need help (urgent)!
I got 2 tickets for speeding and for improper passing. My court date is
on Tuesday. However the judge still didn't receive my tickets from the police officer and told me to call back on Thursday (after the date on the ticket). What I'm wondering about now is what will happen if I show up in court on Tuesday, is there any chance of getting the ticket dismissed if they didn't get it yet? |

If you have a court date you have to show up, regardless of what evidence is there. If it's not there, then maybe the judge will dismiss, or extend, or whatever. My son had a time (he's in the Marines now!) when he was into cars which would get him an automatic pull-over. He had a number of fix-it-or-else tickets and a couple for speeding (not serious ones.) Anyway he discovered that he could (he was making money) have a lawyer, who specialized in this area, on retainer, and the lawyer would go to court for him. The lawyer always got the case resolved. |

My question is if I actually do show up what will he do if he doesn't have the tickets. > My son had a time (he's in the Marines now!) when he was into cars which > would get him an automatic pull-over.

The lawyer > always got the case resolved. Two words - graduate student.. But anyway how much does a lawyer cost? |

The case is in IN and I'm actually having trouble finding a lawyer - all the ones I found specialize in DUI offenses and more serious stuff. So I'm not sure how one goes about finding a lawyer for speeding?? |
