Wisconsin Motion to Reopen Traffic Forfeiture is a legal motion that can be filed with the court to have a forfeiture of a traffic violation, such as speeding, dismissed or reduced. It is a way for drivers to request a review of their case, to challenge the validity of the original traffic violation, or to challenge the amount of the forfeiture. There are two types of Wisconsin Motion to Reopen Traffic Forfeiture. The first type is a Motion to Reopen to Vacate Forfeiture, which allows drivers to request a dismissal of the forfeiture due to an error in the original citation or some other valid reason. The second type is a Motion to Reopen to Reduce Forfeiture, which allows drivers to request a reduction in the amount of the forfeiture due to mitigating circumstances. Both types of motions require the filing of a detailed legal brief and must be submitted to the court before the forfeiture is due.
