Q: How long can traffic violations moved to state court be pending?
I got 4 tickets when I went to court for them they switched them over to State court.
A:
This is an excellent question.
Different State courts move at different speeds.
I would first advise you to contact the State Court Clerk for the County to make sure that you have not missed a court date and that the court has your correct mailing address.
The statute of limitations for a misdemeanor traffic ticket case is 2 years.
Also, I would advise you to also contact an experienced Georgia traffic ticket and/or criminal defense attorney if and when you receive notice of your first arraignment court date.
I have been practicing law in GA for over 20 years and regularly handle traffic ticket and criminal cases all over GA.
To this end, I can definitely help you with your defense if you like.
Please feel free to call or email to discuss your specific situation. My contact details are set out belo
