Traffic Violations

I was Charged with Joyriding

As a Mercer County Traffic Violation Attorney I often see clients who were charged with joyriding. Joyriding is taking a car without intending to keep it, or sell it. As a Mercer County Traffic Violation Attorney I will see this happen to juvenile clients taking their parent’s vehicle without permission.

If you or your child has been arrested and charged with joyriding in a vehicle, watch this video and contact our experienced Mercer County Traffic Violation Attorney.

The Police Seized My Car without Being Charging with a Crime

As a Middlesex Traffic Violations Attorney I sometimes have clients asking me about the police seizing their car without even being charged with a crime. The first thing I can recommend is to have a discussion with the police and their plans. The police are allowed to seize your vehicle if they feel they have reasonable cause. I have advised clients as a Middlesex Traffic Violations Attorney that probable cause can be used to attain a search warrant if you don’t give consent.

If your vehicle has been seized by the police for an unknown reason, watch this video and contact our experienced Middlesex Traffic Violations Attorney.
