Got a traffic ticket or a court citation?
A citation is a notice from the court, not an appointment with our office. Here is what to do first. You can read this without giving us your name.
- Keep the paperIt shows the court date, the court name and the county. Take a photo of both sides.
- Do not miss the dateMissing court can lead to a warrant or a suspended license.
- Ask before you payPaying usually ends the case as a conviction. That can add points to your license, and some convictions affect immigration.
- Call us with the citation in handWe will explain what the charge means and your options.

You do not need to know the county or understand a court portal to ask for help.
The court name matters
Depending on the citation, the case may belong to Municipal, Recorder's, Probate or State Court. A citation from city police, such as Atlanta or Norcross, usually goes to that city's court. Georgia does not have one central database of every traffic citation.
Your county's information (optional)
Use the county and court printed on your citation. Your home address does not decide the court.
Is your citation from a city court or another county?
