What is a Civil Reservation?

http://www.ghabourlaw.com If you are at fault in a car or truck accident in New Jersey and have been issued a summons, you need to be prepared to go to court. Whether you plead guilty to the original charge on the summons or to an amended charge, you must ask for a civil reservation. What this means is that the person you hit, and who may later sue you, will not be able to use your guilty plea against you in a civil case. Can the other driver still sue you? Yes. But they will have to prove you liable and they will not be able to use your guilty plea in their case.

Testimonials

  • I recently was in a terrible car accident that impacted my health, the
    health of my passenger as well as me financially. I contacted Joseph
    Ghabour for his opinion and he was very supportive in calming my
    nerves and addressing my concerns. He literally took the problem from
    me and resolved it while allowing me to focus on the health issues we
    were facing. He gave fantastic advice along the way ensuring that I
    didn't do something that would jeapordize the outcome of the case. I
    am not a litigious person - this was my first and likely my only
    lawsuit - but I felt that with all I was facing I shouldn't have to
    bear the financial burden that was caused by someone else's
    carelessness for the law. Joe kept me informed and ensured that I
    received what I was entitled to covering my expenses and allowing me
    the ability to replace my car without additional financial burden. He
    was calm, understanding and very focused on my case throughout the
    process. I would recommend him to anyone with a legal need.
  • Mr. Ghabour has been patient and available, listening to the circumstances of my case..
