Going to Mandeville Mayors court can be frustrating for many people. Having to take off work or change your plans can be a real pain. On some occasions you may be required to go to court more than once for a ticket especially accidents. One of the main benefits of hiring a Mandeville traffic lawyer is that you will not be required to go. We can go to court for you and save your valuable time.
Unfortunately many people just pay their ticket and never go to court. This can be a huge mistake because when you pay your ticket you are pleading guilty to the charge. A good example would be paying a speeding ticket. That ticket would be on your record as a guilty plea and would be reported. That means your insurance rates could also increase for many years to come. We would fight and try to get your ticket dismissed or reduced to a non moving violation. If it’s dismissed that is fantastic you would not have any other obligation. If reduced to a non moving violation you would still be responsible for a fee but that particular violation would not affect your insurance or driving record.
Mandeville Traffic Court
If you look at the bottom of your ticket you will see your court date. That is the date that you or your attorney must appear. If you fail to appear on this date you will be subject to contempt of court fines and likely have an attachment issued for your arrest. These tickets can get serious very quickly especially if you just skip court. The cost of contempt fees are usually $100 and can add up quickly. This will be your opportunity to speak with the district attorney about your case and see if you can come to an agreement. If not you will get a new trial date and will be required to come on that date for your trial.
