Can I just walk into the traffic court and ask to get in front of a Judge?You just have to find a sympathetic Judge in the court of the original ticket.
You have to convince the Judge to issue an abstract to MA DMV dismissing the ticket, if that is the correct thing to do (this doesn't sound like a ticket - it sounds like a misdemeanor DUI or an underage DUI; either would have required classes and other punishment and will hang around forever if the terms were not complied with).
I suggest you ask the Judge to allow you to complete an alcohol program or a hospital and morgue program or some such in return for an abstract to DMV.
The record itself may have been destroyed, but the dates and types of conviction(s) remain, with a record of unfulfilled terms of probation.
Point out the many years of a clean record that followed that violation.
That is something your atty should have done; another atty in MA may be able to do so - you need a negotiator, not someone who advertises s/he'll fight hard.
PS: forget about fighting how the 'ticket' was recorded. Just deal with what they have on record and what you have to do to comply and get the ticket dismissed/resolved.
My Driving record shows when I paid to reissue the suspended License in 1993, but it doesn't have the Case # which is what the courthouse needs to dig up the file. I did everything they asked, and it
Should I pay for my criminal history report to see if the case # information is listed there?
