I was given a ticket and released with a date to appear in court. What do I do?
Whatever you do, do not pay the ticket. That is a huge mistake. You need to hire an experienced attorney, who will be able to handle the case for you. Your appearance will not be required, even if you’re from out of state, it can be handled through the mail with the attorney. By paying for the ticket, you may be entering a plea of either guilty or no contest to a criminal offense without you knowing it.
