Can an Individual Avoid Going to Court in Stone County?

An individual can hire an attorney to take care of their matter. In some situations the Stone County Court will excuse an individual’s personal appearance when charged with a traffic ticket if they have an attorney representing them. It is important to check with the attorney handling the case because every case is different on whether a person’s appearance is required or not.

Second, you may be able to go to the court during normal business hours and enter a plea of guilty. It is important that a plea of guilty could result in points and a conviction on a criminal record.
