18 over is normally a four point violation, but for new drivers on probationary status, points are doubled. Alone, this one therefore might not take your license, but auto insurance is so expensive for youthful drivers that your increases in your rates due to speeding conviction(s) might force you to stop driving. I would therefore recomend that you consult a lawyer to get you the best deal possible. it is critical that be done well before your court date. It is possible that various notices could be sent to your home, so you need to tell your parents about this and let them help you with this decision

  • First shoplifting offense do not want on record what should I do?

You are wise to be concerned with your record, even in municipal court, since this would be a public record of an honesty issue that could prevent your employment in any position of trust for many years. In the big picture, the fine should therefore be the least of your worries. Get a lawyer before court since avoiding a theft related record might be, but only if you deal with this ahead of time, since it is almost impossible to do that once the conviction has been entered.

  • How can I get a judge to raise the fine and lower the speed said ticket has written on it so it doesn’t look bad on my record

Fines should be the least of your worries right now, since this violation carries mandatory loss of license due to the extreme speed. If you need your license, you therefore need to get a lawyer now. In the long run, problems like increased auto insurance, license loss due to points, and effects on your future employability due to your permanent public driving record will hurt you a lot worse than the fines. Your lawyer can also hopefully arrange for the seriousness of the violation and points to also be changed, assuming that something can be worked out with the prosecutor. Trying to accomplish all of this on your own probably won't get you very far. Once you are convicted, the level of difficulty gets even worse, so be sure to get the lawyer onboard as long as possibly prior to your court date. Lawyers usually need at least a few weeks before court in order to do all the paperwork necessary to postpone the conviction.

  • Can a Wisconsin Circuit Court judge order an immigrants removal?

Jay’s Answer

    • Thursday at 8:00am

While state court Judges sometimes request referral of cases to the INS (just like any other citizen can do), they have limited or no budgets to pay for incarcerating folks just for being illegal, much less for their plane tickets or for making of consular arrangements in another country to receive deportees. What you might have heard about would be instances where state or local authorities honor federal INS immigration holds and warrants, which is extremely common. The actual removal proceedings are then conducted by federal prosecutors who actually are employed by the U.S. Justice Department and related agencies. I do not know of any WI State Laws creating any crimes for illegal presence here due to a lack of immigration authorization for non-citizens.

  • Contesting a citation?

Jay’s Answer

    • Wednesday at 4:52pm

Your lawyer can always contest any citation, whether or not you have a good defense, so that your lawyer can investigate the best course of action and negotiate with the prosecution about a possible settlement. Whether or not you were in the vehicle when cited is not relevant, however, since the only thing that matters is whether you were operating it earlier, as accused.
