In 2012, the Municipality of Bella Villa filed almost 5,500 tickets. Did you get a ticket in the municipality of Bella Villa? What should you do?
If you received a moving violation you have 3 options:
- Pay it
- Go to court and try to fight it yourself
- Hire an attorney.
If you pay it, there will be points assessed to your license. This can cause your insurance rates to go up and/or cause your license to be suspended. Eight points in 18 months can result in a license suspension.
If you try to fight it yourself, the first time you appear in court, your case will not be heard. You will be required to wait and then stand in front of the judge to plead guilty or not guilty. If you plead not guilty, the judge will set your case for trial and you will have to come back at another date. Taking care of the ticket yourself will result in at least two court appearances taking upwards of an hour a piece. Then if you lose, you will be required to pay the fine anyway.
If you hire an attorney, you will likely avoid the appearance and our goal is to get your moving violation amended to a non-moving violation. We have worked in the Bella Villa Municipal for over 10 years. We work with the prosecuting attorney to get your ticket reduced typically to Illegal Parking. We then notify you via email and hard copy and all you have to do is mail in your payment. Usually this process requires no appearance in court on your part saving you time and energy. For a free consultation, fill out our easy ticket submission form and one of our attorneys will contact you.
