Carrollton Traffic Attorney

If you have recently received a traffic ticket in Carrollton and are planning on attending court or hiring a lawyer to attend court for you there are a few things you need to be prepared for from the beginning.

COURT APPEARANCES IN CARROLLTON:  Carrollton Municipal Court now has court on Fridays for attorney dockets at 7:30am.  These dockets can be inconvenient for defendants.  Be prepared to deal with these dockets if the attorney requires your appearance in Carrollton.  Further, you are allowed two 7:30am docket settings before you are given a 1:00pm docket to determine if you are going to take your case to trial or not.

DEFERRED ADJUDICATION IN CARROLLTON:  In order to keep a traffic ticket off your record in Carrollton Municipal Court you are going to need the money in hand at the hearing.  In many courts you will be able to extend the payment for 30 days prior to it being due.  However, Carrollton does not do this.  Carollton considers your extension of payment as the amount of resets that your attorney is able to get for you during the representation of their clients.  Carollton will allow three resets (90 days) before the case must be set for trial or plead out.  So, from the time you hire a lawyer until the time money has to be given to the court for deferred is around 120 days.
