Frequently Asked Questions
On your citation, you were notified by the officer that you have not less than five, no more than fourteen days to appear on your ticket.

On charges that do not require an appearance, you still have a right to see the judge if you want or you can resolve the citation by paying over the phone, online, by mail, or at the clerk’s window.
You are welcome to contact the court anytime. However, it generally takes 5 business days for the court to receive information on your citation. We can answer general questions without the citation but nothing specific to you before then.

- Your arraignment notice will be sent by mail indicating the date and time to come to court. A warrant may be issued if you do not appear.

Everyone is entitled to representation by counsel. You can decide if you want representation at any stage of the court process. If you cannot afford to hire an attorney, you may fill out an affidavit with the Court and be considered for a public defender who is paid by the city to represent those who cannot afford it. The Court is under strict guidelines regarding the qualifications for appointment of a public defender. After filling out the affidavit the Judge will review it with you and determine if you qualify.
Please contact the court.
