Can I do community service for a city of Alameda speeding ticket in lieu of paying the $332 fine?

Sometimes courts can waive some of that fee if the determine that you have funds to pay the whole amount. Hope things work out for you. Shaffer Cormell Law Offices of Shaffer Cormell

I have a warrant for a change of address ticket in windcrest, what should i do? How long will I stay in jail?

If you missed the arraignment court date then usually the sooner you get into court to take care of the ticket better.

Nevertheless, the best thing to do now is talk a local attorney who handles traffic tickets in the area where you received the citation.
