Welcome to JAX.

For citizens, the other metrojacksonville readers are rights, you set a hearing date and are in a "cattle call" to be heard. Most hearing officers will allow you to plead no contest and ask for a withhold of adjudication. Both requests are important. They percent points. That prevents insurance ramifications. You'd pay the fine and sometimes courts will assess costs. If you have a bad history, they may reject it.

For about $100 - $125, a lawyer can run down. We get to skip the line basically and must say it with more pricey emphasis and usually can negotiate extra time to pay, waiver of costs and sometimes a reduction. It really depends on whether you have time. You wouldn't have to appear if you hired a lawyer.
