On non-mandatory charges, payment plans are not allowed. You can enter a Not Guilty Plea, and the Court will set a Pre-Trial Conference Hearing. If you pay off your fine amount prior to that hearing date, you can change your plea to Guilty, and the Court will enter that guilty disposition, and your case will then be closed.
If you were given a payment plan during the sentencing phase, and would like this revised, you will need to email the court with a proposed new plan and we will submit that to the Judge for his consideration. Contact Form
