I appear in court, but would like to consult with my attorney. What can I do?

If you appear in court on your initial court date, you may request a postponement of your plea to consult with an attorney. You may enter a plea of not guilty, guilty, or no contest. If you enter a plea of guilty or no contest you will be found guilty and given an opportunity to speak. If you need time to pay your fine this request will be granted. The court may give you up to 60 days to pay your fine.
