Frequently asked questions
I had insurance but couldn't find my card at the stop. Now what?
This is the most fixable ticket in New Mexico. Our attorneys present proof that your policy was active on the citation date, and courts routinely dismiss the charge outright.
Is driving uninsured a crime in New Mexico?
Yes — operating without financial responsibility under NMSA 66-5-205 is a misdemeanor, not a civil infraction. It belongs in front of an attorney, not on a mail-in payment.
What if my coverage had genuinely lapsed?
Get insured immediately — proof of new coverage is the strongest negotiating chip there is. Prosecutors and judges regularly reduce or dismiss when a driver shows the problem is fixed.
Can this ticket affect my registration too?
Yes — New Mexico's insurance database flags uninsured vehicles, and the MVD can suspend the registration separately from anything the court does. Our attorneys work both tracks so one fix doesn't leave the other open.
