Title: Quick court question
Post by: Dapperdan on November 05, 2012, 02:12:19 PM
Has anyone ever contested a  traffic citation in Duval court? I have a witness who is willing to give a notarized account of an accident I was in where I received the citation and the other driver did not. This account should free me from this citation and points. Do notarized statements hold up or would I actually need to bring the witness to court with me?

I know Judge Judy never, ever accepts notarized statements.

You need your witness in court... but if you want another notarized statement... I could probably get one for you... ;)

and don't forget to bring an additional $303 in case you don't get it overturned.  That's what they charge you these days to see the judge.   ::)
