You must appear before the judge on your original court date to obtain a continuance. If you have an attorney, your attorney can file a motion requesting a continuance on your case. If you have any questions or wish to receive more specific information pertaining to your case, please contact Florence Municipal Court at 843-665-3148.

If you were not immediately charged with a crime, that doesn’t mean charges cannot be filed later, after an investigation. Depending on the case, after a complaint is filed, the Court will mail you a Notice to Appear, if they have your current address. If the Court cannot locate a current address for you, an arrest warrant will be issued in your name.

You may reschedule your Court date one time as long as you call prior to your Court date to reschedule.

You must appear in person in Room 145 on or before your scheduled court date to have your file pulled and reviewed to see if you qualify for approval of an extension. Another person cannot appear on your behalf to request an extension or reschedule your court date because the violator must sign for notice of the new court date. A personal appearance is required and proper picture identification is required. Another person can, however, appear and pay for your fine.

Call the Clerk of the Court you are to appear in. The Court's phone numbers are listed in the blue section of the phone book.

Under certain circumstances, you may request a 2 week continuance. You must contact the Clerk of Court prior to your court date.

Yes. From Magistrate Court either party may take an appeal by filing an appeal in the Magistrate Court within 7 days of the judgment. The case will then restart in State or Superior Court (technically, it is an appeal; but, for all intents and purposes, its a new case.) If the case originated in the State Court, an appeal may only be taken to the Georgia Court of Appeals, if the Notice of Appeal is filed in the State Court (or Superior Court, as the case may be) within 7 days of the judgment.

It's just a phone call away. Notify us at least a day before your scheduled application, and let us know what day is better for you. Yes. Our foundation application will control the Hobo spider as well as other spiders and insects. However, we cannot spray inside your house. See information on our foundation spray.

I am a New Jersey driver. Does my ticket carry points that would be assessed against my driving record? (Link to DMV)

Yes, but you must go to the court indicated on your ticket prior to your court date, or write to the court to request an extension prior to your court date.

Yes. There is at least one appearance, although not technically in "court", that is required whether under Chapter 7 or 13. It is an initial meeting held about 30 days after filing. The appointed Trustee presides over this meeting; it is not attended by the Judge, and it is designed to permit creditors and interested persons to ask questions concerning the Debtor's assets or financial affairs.

If someone is booked into the Jail on new charges or warrants (with the exception of municipal warrants for which you should contact the municipality to learn court information), they will normally go to court between 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. the following business day. If they are booked in on a warrant Friday or during the weekend, they will normally go to court Monday morning between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.

If "Court Appearance Required" is checked on the Complaint and Summons, you must appear in court at the time and place indicated, even if you wish to plead guilty. If "Court Appearance Required" is not checked on the Complaint and Summons, you must still appear in court if: you wish to have a trial; the charge is not listed on the State or Local Supplemental Violations Bureau Schedule; personal injury is involved. A criminal charge always requires your appearance in court.

For misdemeanor charges, usually the answer is "Yes." Florida law prohibits the settlement of a Felony charge unless the client is present in Court. However, Misdemeanor charges, such as most DUIs, may be settled without requiring your personal appearance. This is referred to as a “Plea in Absentia” and requires the approval of the Court. This is a common procedure for our out-of-area clients who were arrested while in the area on vacation or for work.
