about your NYC Criminal Court Appearance Ticket
Criminal Court Appearance Tickets (Summonses) Generally. The NYPD has several options when confronting someone for suspected illegal
behavior. Depending on the nature of the law that was broken, they can
make an arrest, issue a traffic ticket, or a criminal court appearance ticket.
A criminal court appearance ticket, often called a summons, is a pink colored
ticket issued in New York City that charges you with violating a penal
law, administrative code, vehicle and traffic law, park rules, or other
infraction of the state or local law and which typically requires an appearance
in criminal court.
Being issued a criminal court appearance ticket / summons can be frightening
because regardless of what you were told by the police officer who gave
it to you, it may require more than one trips to court and could carry
the risk of a criminal conviction if it charged a misdemeanor. Some tickets
can also carry the risk of thousands of dollars of fines. Tickets issued
to corporations will also require the corporation to answer by sending
an attorney since only an attorney can represent the corporation on a
criminal court appearance ticket / summons.
