Budget Plenty of Time
The Judge works hard to move her calendar quickly. Depending on the size of the calendar, you may be out within an hour, or it could take longer. The best practice is to plan for it to take most of the morning so that you are not caught off-guard by lengthy delays.
The cases with attorneys are normally handled first. This will give you an opportunity to listen to what the Judge thinks is important about the cases in front of her.
You should also be prepared for uncomfortable seating. Their wooden benches are stunning. They are also very hard to sit on for long periods.
If you have an emergency and cannot wait for your case to be called, you can try to get the Bailiff’s attention. Smryna has a lovely team of bailiffs who can help you during any in-court emergencies.
Avoid Probation
Did you know that probation can lead to unexpected jail time? Ask the Judge for more time to avoid probation if you cannot pay the fine. Probation can lead to unnecessary headaches and, in some extreme cases – jail.
For example, let’s say you are on probation because you need extra time to save money for a fine, and you are later charged with a new offense. The judge who handled the original ticket could put you in jail for the remainder of your probation.
Going on probation means giving the government a lot of authority over your life, which is a big deal. If the prosecutor asks for probation, alternative resolutions are worth exploring. Don’t be afraid to ask for a reset to have time to research our options!
