Our Skilled Team Is Here to Protect Your Future & Driving Privileges: (818) 875-9153

In California, if a police officer issues a citation to you, your signature on the bottom is your promise to appear in court or pay the fine for the traffic offense. You are required to take action by the date specified on your citation. If you fail to do so, you could be charged with a misdemeanor offense, and face serious penalties, such as jail time, additional fines, and/or a driver's license hold or suspension. The consequences can wreak havoc on your personal or professional life, as well as affect your finances. If you've been charged with failure to appear (FTA) for a traffic ticket, call us.
