I received a ticket for no seat belt plus an added one for not having my drivers license on me. When I read the date for the court, I transposed the numbers and missed my court date. Now I have a Failure to Appear plus a fine for something that was relatively innocent.
Do I need an attorney to handle this or is going to the court house alone at the next FTA hearing date sufficient?
I do not want to be arrested while waiting to clear this up. I have an added complication of not having my license physically - it burned in a car accident last week. I do have a copy which I always make for emergencies. However, I can't get a replacement because of the FTA issue as noted above.
