Why seek advice
Contraventions often combine legal and technical issues, and penalty reports frequently contain errors, omissions or a misreading of the facts. A sound defence can make all the difference.
Short answers

15 days from the date it was handed to you or served on you (Article 31 of Government Ordinance No. 2/2001). A complaint filed after this deadline is dismissed as out of time, so it is best to act quickly.
Not while the case is pending: the complaint suspends enforcement of the fine until a final decision is given (Article 32 of Ordinance No. 2/2001). For traffic fines, it also suspends complementary penalties such as licence suspension (Article 118 of Government Emergency Ordinance No. 195/2002).
The judicial stamp duty is RON 20, both for the complaint and for an appeal (Article 19 of Government Emergency Ordinance No. 80/2013). If proof of payment is missing, the complaint is annulled.
Missing mandatory details make the report null and void: the officer's full name and position, your identification details, the offence, the date it was committed or the officer's signature (Article 17 of Ordinance No. 2/2001). Other irregularities can lead to annulment if you show that they caused you harm.
Generally, yes: you can pay half of the minimum fine within 15 days of receiving the report, if the law that sanctions the offence allows it and the report says so (Article 28 of Ordinance No. 2/2001). Some areas have special rules, so it is worth checking your report.
Not necessarily. I can represent you at every hearing and keep you informed of how the case is progressing.
