Good morning Mr. Stein. I have a question concerning the accuracy of information written on a Traffic Citation. A couple weeks ago, I was cited for 2 tickets. Failure to Stop at a Stop sign and speeding 50 in a 35. The officer said that I didn't touch my brakes as I approached the stop sign at a ...

Peteetong Gentlemen, I have a traffic law oriented question for the great George Stein that I've been dying to ask him. Unfortunately, I always seem to be driving to work in the morning when he shows up in your studio, and I'm one of those rare breed that actively tries to avoid talking on the ...

I forgot about renewing my tag after my birthday and got a ticket for an expired tag shortly after my birthday. This is the first ticket for that I've ever gotten. I recieved my ticket by an atlanta city police officer in the city of Atlanta. He told me when he gave me the ticket that I could ch...

George, I have been listening to you for years on the Regular Guys and always get a good laugh from your segments and the unfortunate souls who run upon the wrong side of the law. I could never identify with them until now. Here is my problem. Park Atlanta is a parking management sub contracto...

Hello George, I am a long time listener of The Regular Guys, and just love your segment. I wasn't able to call in this morning. Sister had garage sale (dumb move) and sold husband's lawnmower to neighbor's adult kid for more $$ than husband told her to when husband wasn't there. Husband came h...

I got nailed going 86 in a 70 zone on 75 near Dalton. My uncle-in-law (a lawyer, not criminal) called about the charge and was told that the super-speeder was four points on my record and that I needed to ask the judge to go to Defensive Driving school. There was no attempt to ask to drop the sp...

I got a speeding ticket in Ashburn, GA which is 160 miles from my home in Atlanta. It was for 88 in a 70. They want $374.00 to pay the fine before the court date with a guilty plea. The court date is scheduled for June 3rd. I guess my question is what would you advise me to do? $374 is a lot of m...

My next door neighbor has moved out of state and has decided to "let the bank have his home" according to another neighbor. There is no for sale sign nor a forclosure notice. It could be that this is one of those things that has fallen through the cracks paperwork wise and NO ONE is claiming owner...

My 19 year old son went to pick up a friend from his apartment complex. When he arrived, the fri

I was recently pulled over on ga. 400 by A.P.D. for doing 88 in a 55. Does this make me a super speeder? Should I hire an attorney to try to minimize the damage to my otherwise good driving record?...

Hi George, loyal listener of the regular guys here. I, against better judgement now, plead guilty to a charge of simple battery in April of 2004 or 2005, can't exactly remember and don't want to have to look it up. I won't get into the details of what happened and why for time sake, but I hav...

I was issued two citations. First, driving without a buckled seat belt (I almost always buckle up, but not this morning.) Second, crossing the "gore" while trying to enter I285 Westbound, going south on 141/Peachtree Industrial Blvd. I don't believe I crossed the gore, for reasons I can discuss l...

My brother got a DUI and possession charge. The advice he was given by an attorney is that in Cobb, as a first offender, the Public Defender could get it reduced and nolo contendre would apply. Any thoughts? I think he's being a dumb a&& not calling you, by the way.

I would like your advice please on the following but I didn't want to go on the radio with this story since it sounds so white trash. A few years ago my ex husband had our son arrested for domestic violence for getting into a fight at the school bus stop with his own brother after the younger o...

I was stopped 1 mile from my exit in late November at 1:30 in the morning traveling at 114 MPH in a 70 MPH zone by a city patrol on I 85.

First, love you on the radio! You sound like such a good guy! So handsome, too! Second, I was a victim of a street trap. I was in downtown Atlanta and was carefully driving, and very slow, I might add. I know that the streets are tricky. I came to an intersection where there were at least ...

My father had been charged with a DUI in Cobb county last year. The DUI resulted in an accident. He had no priors.

Good afternoon George, I didn't get time to go on air to ask my question on today's Regular Guys show so here is my brief situation. I was a part of my friends wedding in Florida over the weekend. It all started when we were leaving the wedding reception at the bride's father's golf course. I...

I failed to make a complete stop in a neighborhood, and forgot the court date. Just remembered and looked it up online. Can pay online, I'm 5 days late. Should I pay it, would they allow it to be rescheduled and would it be possible to get fee reduced and no points? Was in Fulton County...

Is it true that the court must give you a fair and speedy trial within the 45 days of arraignment? I received a speeding ticket on 8-6-10. Had my arraignment on 9-7-10, and now have a trial date of 6-3. Can this be dismissed based on the fair and speedy trial defense?...

I got a citation from Morgan County for going 73 in a 55-zone of Hwy-441 near Madison. The fine is $180.

Hi George, I listen to you on the Regular Guys every week and hope you can help advise on ticket I received. I received a speeding ticket on Buford Hwy going 60 in a 45. I asked the officer two times before he wrote the ticket if he would list the ticket at 14 miles over the speed limit rather ...

I listen to the Regular Guys radio show. This question come from Dallas Texas. I just received a ticket for an illegal right turn on red at 10:30 at night. I was told by the officer that there was a sign that the right turn on red was illegal but had never noticed it since I just moved to Dall...

Good afternoon George. I listen to you on the Regular Guys, and I've got a question about going to court without legal representation. My court date is in January in Loganville, GA.

When I was in college (2002) I was arrested in New Orleans during Mardi Gras for a misdemeanor possession of marijuana. I had the arrest expunged from my record. It is now 8 years later, I have passed the CPA exam, and I'm applying for licensure. The application asks: "Have you ever been con...

George, w spoke briefly this morning on the Regular Guys show. I didn't want to give full details, because it's kind of a weird situation. The long and short is that I want to be seen as a 100% equal parent in the eyes of the law and school system.

At the time of our divorce, my wife ma...

George, I hear you on the Regular Guys show quite often and realize what a great attorney you are. I was charged with DUI on Wed, night. I refused the breathalizer test because i had been drinking and I had also taken a nasal decongestant earlier in the night. Thank you.

Mr Stein, I doubt I have a case or any retribution but I just thought I would ask you. In 2007 I took a DOT physical to go work for a package shipping company at a Clinic in Atlanta and passed. Wi...

George, A friend of mine got ridiculously drunk the other night in Gwinnette county. He was at a bar, and the last thing he remembers is his boss buying him and his friend a cab ride home. They didn't even make it out of the county. He remembers almost nothing except for getting beat rather h...

Hello George. I listen to you on the Regular Guys. Several years ago (maybe '05) I got arrested in Arkansas for possesion of MJ less than oz, paraphenalia and soliciting (magazines) without a permit.

While stop at an intersection, the car in front of me proceeded to turn right and decided to stop after making the turn in a merging lane. Unaware that the driver had stopped , I moved to the stop sign and watched for oncoming traffic. Once I had a clear path , I proceeded to turn right, colliding...

George, You have said that we should always refuse all sobriety tests even if we are completely sober. If I am sober and I refuse all tests what response should I expect from the officer? Will he confiscate my license on the spot? What is the process to overturn the 12 month license suspension?...

Long story short, I drive a truck for a distributor. I was in an illeal lane and pulled over by GSP. My citation says nothing about me having a CDL license or that I was driving a commercial vehicle. Since the citation was filled out incorrectly, does that mean the case can be thrown out by a judge?...

This week I got a tijet for 23 over on 400 about 1 mile south of 285. The speed limit here is 55, however, I honestly thought it was 65. I've heard you say that you should speak to the prosecutor before you see the judge but how can you do this? And what do you say? Can I just be honest and ask f...

This is my first offense for speeding and I am unaware of the process in regards to the court proceedings. I have already found out the amount of the ticket, however I am concerned about the points.

I recently received a 56 in a 25. I have some minor traffic violations from awhile ago. I haven't pled nolo in the past 5 years, but not sure if that's the best idea given it is a 30+ ticket.
