What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? State NJ

I receceived 4 summons for having a unregistered vehicle park on the street and I am the owner of the vehicle. I purchased the vehicle to be resold but the seller left it on the street with fake plates now its all falling on me as I am the owner. I received summons to appear in court. What can happen I tell them the truth. Do I need a lawyer for this?

Did you properly surrender the plates and keep a copy of signed completed title?

The Seller must:

Remove the plates and surrender them to any MVC Agency or Regional Service Center, unless the plates are being transferred to another vehicle (plates can be transferred to another vehicle but not to another owner)
Sign the reverse side of the title and give it to the buyer, with:
Buyer's name and address
Date of sale
Mileage odometer reading (see below)
Sale price
To avoid a $25 penalty, all titles must be transferred within 10 working days from the date of sale

Why don't you just pay the parking tickets for your vehicle? :confused:
 
I sent the guy that had control of the vehicle to enquire and he said they say I have to go court. I got an ad from a lawyer and he said they can take away my driving privilege in nj for 6 mths and cannot register a vehicle. Its not like an official ticket I only receive court paper so I dont know how to pay it.
