You should definitely try to schedule a court date and try to resolve it. With a ticket that old, there's a good chance that they will just dismiss it once it makes it back in the courtroom and prosecutor has a chance to look at it. That won't ever happen, however if you don't show... View More

When your case is marked as dormant, it means there hasn’t been any recent activity or progress in the legal proceedings. This status often occurs when there’s a pause in the case, possibly because necessary actions haven’t been taken by either side. Essentially, the case is on hold and not... View More
