| Do you take credit card payments? |
| |
Yes. You can now pay your Court fees with a Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover credit card. This option is offered through Official Payments Corporation (OPC). Pay on-line now.
|
| Can I reschedule my Court date?
|
| |
You may reschedule your Court date one time as
long as you call prior to your Court date to reschedule. |
| I missed my Court date and really
wanted to appear. Can I get it reopened? |
| |
To get a matter reopened, you must write a letter
to the Judge explaining why you missed your Court date and asking
that it be reopened. The Judge may charge a reopening fee which
will be in the range of $0 - $50, depending on how long after
the Court date we receive your letter and why you missed. If
the reopening request is more than three months past the entry
of judgment, a hearing will be held before the Judge. |
| This is not my ticket. I think
somebody used my name. Now what? |
| |
Write a letter to the Court letting us know it
was not you who was stopped. We will set up a hearing to have
you and the officer who made the stop come in. At that time
it will be determined if it was you or if the ticket should
be reissued to someone else. |
| I didn't pay my fines and now
I'm suspended. What do I do now? |
| |
If this is the only suspension/revocation on your
driving record, you must first pay your fine to the Court. Once
paid, we will give you paperwork to take to DMV. You will pay
them a reinstatement fee in order to have your privilege to
drive in Wisconsin reinstated. |
| Can I do community service to
take care of my fines? |
| |
If the alternative to payment of your fine is
jail time, the Judge may grant you the opportunity to fulfill
your obligation by serving on the Kenosha County Work Crew. |
| Can I get an extension to pay
my fines? |
| |
Yes, but you must put your request in writing.
Explain in a letter why you need the extension, how much time
you need, and if you want to be put on a payment plan, how much
you can afford to pay per week or month. This request must be
made prior to your fine due date. |
| I'm afraid I'm going to lose
my license on points. What can I do? |
| |
Make your Court appearance and inform the Judge
of your license status. He may grant you the opportunity to
complete Point Reduction School at GTI. Upon completion, you
will receive three points back on your license. |
| How long will this traffic charge
remain on my record? |
| |
The points will remain on your record for one
year from the date of the violation. The actual charge will
remain on your record for five years, unless the charge is Operating
While Intoxicated. That will remain on your record for 10 years
or more. |
| How do you spell the Judge's
name? |
