We'll I'm in Texas and it really depends on you. You can go and plead your case or get a lawyer pay the fee of about 75.00 and they take care of everything in most cases and that saves you the time to go to court. Once you call the Lawyer he will brief you on what needs to be done. It's simpe I would recommend this to anyone...You should get though this without any problem.
Again Im in Texas which it does not mean pleading guilty if you don't show(meaning the lawyer goes instead) thats why you should leave it to the guys who know the law..
