Useful Tips 

Tip: If you have plead not guilty and are preparing to go to court please bring your court notice and your driving record. The court notice will help the court personnel direct you to where you need to go and what you need to do. Your driving record, if it is clean, can help you quickly mitigate the situation. 

Dress Code: While the court has no official dress code, it is very important that you present yourself in a professional and respectful manner. Judges often frown upon those individuals that come into court with shorts, tank tops, open-toed sandals, and other similar items.

Suspension: If you have a suspended license, please do not drive your vehicle. It is a crime to drive with a suspended license. If you are pulled over, the officer can impound your car and suspend you.
