What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
California
Hello Forum members,
I was given a ticket for 20mpg over the speed limit (35mph) across a city community center. I forgot that i schedule a court date and i missed it. The reason was because i had been accepted for a "summer camp" in transition from high school to College. After i completed the session during the summer 2007 i completely forgot about the court date (JULY 2007)!! This scenario is about 2 years old.
I was charged a total of $790 which includes the missing court date fine. I paid the amount in order to drive again. The missing court date suspended my license. Furthermore, I was also told that i can counter a dispute after payment, so i did. I attended a court date, and the judge schedule me another date.
This is my "hearing" i assume? I have NO knowledge about court stuff, and i would greatly appreciate some advice before i enter on Monday, August 3, 2009. I ALSO HAD a passenger.. should he attend my hearing? Am i suppose to have a lawyer for this?
I can really use the $790 or some of it for school supplies!!!!
