On july 23 of this year i was taken to jail in auburn,al for a pi charge, no i wasnt making a scene just jogging down a road fubar'd and got lost. so long story short, anyone know of a good lawyer? its only a class c misdemeanor over there it would be nice to get that off my record and not pay whole lot to get back over there to show up to court

it's the same thing as a parking ticket.

yeah i know i just dont want to spend over 300 just getting there and back. Then once i get there it will be 300 for the ticket itself

I dont know how much a lawyer will cost for this in all honesty, if its cheaper than flying there then ill do it if not ill make another weekend out of it and hope i dont go to jail again for the same reason

It seems like you could just send payment in. Correct me if I'm wrong. Call the courthouse.

I sat from 1 ish and was bailed out 9:30 ish. i do not know if they counted that as time served
I called the courthouse the other day and what they told me is that i have to show up in court since i was arrested and processed. I tried telling them that i have no residency there what so ever but they kept protesting that i have to show up

Did you use a bail bonds man? sounds like it. And when you do that you do have to go back and appear in court. If you had a buddy get you out you paid your fine when you got out. Going back to court would be to fight it.

Go on SSU and pm five-0, he is a leo in AL

Yeah thats what i did, my buddies called one in the early am to get me out at the time. I didnt know that i could have paid my fines right then and there. I guess i have to learn the hard way. When you say " going back to court would be to fight it" do you mean i can pay it without leaving tx? If so how do I go about doing that? I have till sept 29th so get all this stuff figured out

You might see if you can find an attorney local to the area that handles those types of cases. He might be able to appear on your behalf. Will probably cost you the amount of the citation.

Call the bail bonds man and ask him. Here is how i understand it. You are out on bail now and have to go make an appearance to plea and get your fine since you used the bonds man. (I am unsure if a lawyer can appear for you)

Once again Call your bail bonds man and he will be able to tell you.

I would have been better if you waited till the morning and your buddies came and got you out by paying the fine.
