2 MOTOR VEHICLE SURCHARGES, THE MUNICIPAL COURTS
AND NEW JERSEY TRAFFIC LAWS How to fight speeding tickets, driving while
suspended, careless driving and other traffic violations. Pursuant to State
Regulations, the New Jersey Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) tracks your
driving by adding points to your record when you are convicted of a moving
violation. The more serious the violation, the more points you are assessed.
Motor Vehicle points are completely separate from insurance eligibility points,
which are used by the NJ State Department of Insurance to assess surcharges on
your insurance payments. Your insurance company can charge you an extra
surcharge on top of DMV surcharges. Your insurance company can seek approval to
charge several hundred dollars for points or even cancel your policy.
Therefore, it is often important to plead not guilty to municipal court motor
vehicle violations and speak with the prosecutor to try to plead guilty to a
lesser point, lesser speed violation.
SPEAKERS BUREAU At the request of members,
Middlesex County companies organizations, the " Speakers Bureau " is
a service designed to educate citizens about how laws affect their lives and
how the judicial system operates. We have attorneys available to speak to
business persons, educational, civic and social organizations on a wide range
of topics during business hours. HELP YOUR MEMBERS LEARN THE LAW, PREVENT OR
AVOID LEGAL PROBLEMS Chances are many of your members have been in a situation
where they could benefit from legal advice. Have you ever been in an accident?
Has a motor vehicle or criminal complaint been filed against you or a member of
your family? Many individuals face these and other types of problems. Often
people do not protect their rights then later face lengthy license suspension
or even jail for failure to resolve legal problems early on. Thats why Legal
Rights Seminars are offered.
This means your members can get advice and possibly
prevent legal problems before they occur. Most importantly, they can have peace
of mind. Americans need an attorney when legal problems strike. As in the case
of medical services, early treatment can prevent catastrophe and its attendant
cost in time and money. For example, psychological studies have demonstrated
that there is a direct correlation between legal problems and lost work time
and productivity. Employees work performance often has a direct relationship to
personal legal problems, therefore the sooner a solution can be found for the
employees problems, the sooner the employees can focus on their work.
No soliciting of members One free consultation card
available per member/ employee. As set forth previously, in this seminar series
we do not permit our attorney/ speakers to solicit the people in attendance.
However, a free on month consultation card is provided to all who attend, a
$200 value. Use these private consultations with an experienced attorney to
discuss your important legal matters, have a legal check-up, or discuss any
specific business-related legal problem that may need professional attention.
In todays complex world, few people can function successfully and safely
without competent legal advice. In order to insure your estate plans are
legally set up, you need to know exactly where you stand so that you can avoid
mistakes that can have a catastrophic impact on your family and you. For
additional information on the Legal Seminars, contact our Coordinator Kenneth
Vercammen, Esq. at (732) 572-0500. We would welcome the opportunity to talk
with you or your officers to explain more about the Legal Rights Seminars.
