Legal Answers
- Q. Do non moving violations in Washington( which don't appear on ur record) make a deferall agreement void?
- A: It depends upon what the judge ordered when the previous deferral was granted.

- A: The first thing to keep in mind is you have 33 days from the date of mailing of the ticket to you (look at the postmark on the envelope in which the ticket was mailed) to respond to the court. You will have to contact the WSP to obtain a copy of the dashcam recording so you can review it. But you must preserve your rights in this case so you should contest this ticket by checking the "contested hearing" box, filling in your name and mailing address and signing and dating the ticket form and then mailing it to the court clerk right away. You should seriously consider hiring a local attorney in Wenatchee to defend this ticket or at least obtain a consultation to see what the best course ... Read More
