Desk Appearance Tickets and Summons
Many people are confused when they’re handed a criminal summons or desk appearance ticket - they’ll pay the fine on the summons, not realizing that by doing so, they’re forfeiting their right to plead not guilty. They also may not realize the seriousness of a desk appearance ticket. Our firm represents clients at both criminal summons appearances and desk appearance ticket appearances.
