Interview Transcript

Scott Michael Dunn: And what happens if I miss a court date for a traffic ticket?

Andrew Russek: If you don’t have an attorney and you miss it, very serious consequences.

You could have a warrant put out for your arrest, just like you could in any other case, and you could be picked up one day, driving to work or to pick up your kids. And just like any other warrant, you could be brought down to the jail, and hopefully, you have the money to post bond on it.
