Who Do I Call if I Want to Talk to Someone?

en español>

For a "Notice to Appear" ticket, call the court listed on the ticket. Or look for the Traffic Department in the Government Pages of your phone book. Or get their phone number from the court's Web site.  To find that website, click here.

REMEMBER: Court clerks are not attorneys. They cannot give you legal advice, predict what the court will do in your situation, or tell you what you should do to clear your ticket. They also are not judicial officers. They cannot reduce your bail or dismiss your case. However, there is a lot court staff CAN do for you including:

• Explain and answer questions about how the court works;
• Provide the number of local lawyer referral services;
• Give general information about court rules, procedures and practices;
• Provide court schedules and information on how to get a case scheduled;
• Provide information from your case file;
• Provide court forms and instructions that are available;
• Usually answer questions about court deadlines and how to compute them.
