If you have a lawyer on full-time retainer, and you can afford the time to go to court, and pay any assessed court costs (never mind the violation), you have a fair chance of winning the case.
If you don't have a lawyer on retainer, you'll have to hire one. At the very least, that will cost you what the fine would have been or more, plus any court costs. But then you would, again have a fair chance of winning your case.
If you appear in court alone to "fight it", without a lawyer, the cop who wrote the citation is going to get the benefit of the doubt every time. Then you'll have to pay the fine and the court costs.
Guilty
In court, you must either plead guilty or not guilty to the charges against you.
defend yourself against the charges of the assaulted, or plead guilty.
If you did not steal $100-$300 then plead not guilty...If you stole the money then plead guilty and accept your sentence..your previous conviction for theft is going to play a factor in your case either way...
if you are pleading not guilty you wish to fight the ruling i just went through this last month and i made the mistake of pleaing no contest and was found guilty before i could say another word
No, if you plead guilty, you typically do not go to trial. By pleading guilty, you are admitting to the charges against you, and the case can proceed to sentencing without the need for a trial.
I don't think you can appeal after a guilty plea.
Unless you have proof you are not guilty the judge will still find you guilty. Why not just take responsibility for your actions if you are guilty.
If going to court, if you cannot afford one, one will be appointed. If a child is innocent, get a lawyer. If a child is guilty, you should get the appointed one, and plead guilty.
Yes
When asked "How do you plead?" in court, the proper way to respond is to clearly state "guilty" or "not guilty" to the charges brought against you.
No, you cannot plead guilty before the court date. You must wait until your scheduled court appearance to enter a plea.
