Infraction Continuance
What is a Continuance for an Infraction?
There is a chance that we will need to ask for an infraction continuance for your case.
A “Continuance” is a motion to the court to request that a new court hearing date be set. Continuances are normal and have no negative impact on the outcome of your case. This rescheduling process is approved and processed through the court.
There are multiple reasons why a motion to continue may be filed.
Examples can include:
- Court calendar scheduling conflicts.
- Perhaps we are waiting for the complete documentation that we have requested to build the defense for your case.
- Negotiation for an improved outcome.
- Time needed to allow you to complete a step to address the needs that have come to light.
How Many Times?
The number of times a case may be continued, depends on the court that the case is assigned to. The Judge that is presiding may also have limits in place. In some situations motions to continue may be allowed multiple times for a case. In other situations they may only be allowed one time.
We file the appropriate documents to allow the court to reset the case to a new hearing date. The court will then have a new 120 days to hold a hearing for the traffic infraction.
Do I Need To Worry About Infraction Continuance?
No. The new court date will be placed on our calendar, and we will address the new hearing on your behalf.
We will confirm the outcome for your infraction has been recorded as agreed in the Court docket. You will be notified of the details by mail.
