Before Court Begins

You must decide upon and enter a plea to the charge against you. If you signed a citation in front of an officer, you did not plead guilty, you only signed a promise to appear in court on the appearance date.

There are three possible pleas:

1. "Guilty"
2. "Not Guilty"
3. "No Contest"

YOUR DECISION ON WHAT PLEA YOU ENTER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE. WE SUGGEST THAT YOU READ EXPLANTIONS BEFORE ENTERING YOUR PLEA.
