What Should I Do If I Forgot To Go To Court For A Traffic Ticket?

If you miss your traffic court date, several things can happen. First, the judge may issue a warrant for your arrest and you will need an attorney to quash and recall the warrant or you could be arrested.  You could be found guilty in your absence and fees and fines issued. If you are convicted, your attorney could file a motion to reopen your case to resolve it more favorably. Also, not appearing in court will get your license suspended. So, if you miss your court date, call an Illinois traffic ticket attorney for advice.
