What to do if I got a ticket for expired tags and no proof of insurance?
I got a court date. I have never been to court and don’t know what I will need to do. Should I get a lawyer or can I just go and pay the fines?

Given the fact that you are subject to a misdemeanor charge for expired tags and no proof of insurance, I suggest that you get insurance for the vehicle, get the car's registration updated, and retain an attorney to accompany you to the court date that you have coming up.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
