do i have to go to court from out of town

we may be able to address the arrest warrant and ticket with an affidavit depending upon the type of traffic violation.  if the traffic violation is serious, you must appear. you may also have to appear if there was an issue with the officer. you will have to pay the outstanding bail amount, if any, and pay the contempt charge for your failure to appear. the contempt fines are significant-usually $500 to $1000.  we just did a case with six outstanding warrants for one person. ed dimon, esq. 732-797-1600 ext 235
