You will likely need the assistance of an attorney in the jurisdiction where you received the citation. If you cannot afford to hire an attorney, the judge will appoint one from the public defender's office when you go to court. However, the 30 day impound will probably be over by your first court appearance. You, or an attorney may attempt to speak with the police department to see if they will release the hold. An attorney may be able to assist you with this and have the charge reduced to an infraction instead of misdemeanor. A misdemeanor may have serious employment implications in the future. Good luck!
