After getting charged by police, you’ll generally have one of two options in court on your first day, as outlined in the below flowchart.

Some more serious cases won’t require you to enter a plea on the first court date, at least until a complete brief of evidence is served by police first.

We can talk to you about this further to tailor our advice to your particular case. Call us today.

If being sentenced in court for a criminal or traffic charge, a powerful good character & apology letter for court can be used to convince the Judge or Magistrate to impose a lighter sentence.
