Do I Have to Show up in Court?

You may have received an Administrative Notice of Ordinance Violation directly from a police officer or one may have been mailed to you. You may have the option to pre-pay certain citations, but it is not always in your best interest to do so. Typically, if the ordinance violation is not listed on the back of your ticket with a pre-payment option, you must appear for an administrative hearing on the date and time as shown. An attorney can typically appear on your behalf and avoid the need for you to appear in court in-person.

Appearing in court can be a hardship for many individuals, including CDL holders issued overweight violations in Chicago. Our attorneys offer reliable representation and may alleviate the need for a driver or company representative to appear in court for an overweight violation.

If you missed your hearing date, you or your attorney may file a motion to set aside the default. The motion must be filed in-person at the Central Hearing Facility Information Desk. These motions must be filed in a timely manner. They will only be granted if good cause is shown.
