I have a Failure To Appear in California court. Need Help?

failure to appear in courtFailure to Appear in Court for a traffic violation can be costly. When an Officer issues a traffic violation to a diver the Officer always asks the driver to sign the ticket. However, the signature on a traffic ticket is not an admission of guilt but just a promise to appear in court prior to the time and date indicated on ticket.

If a person chooses to ignore the appearance date on the traffic ticket then that person can be charged with Failure to Appear. This is a serious charge and if not resolved properly it can result in substantial fines and the suspension of the individual’s driver license.

As a result, a person should never ignore a promise to appear in court.
