Compliance instruction
Normally, your attorney will not be present. You will need to check in at the court room on the first floor to find what room to go to next (AP4, AP1, etc.). Make sure you have made duplicate copies of all of the compliance papers such as:
1. Receipt from cashier with fine/surcharge is paid.
2. Certificate from completed program (if ordered)
3. Letter of completion from community service (if ordered)
4. Anything else ordered by the court to bring.
- Bring them all with you on your appointed day.
- Go to the assigned room and speak with any court officer. They will take all of the compliance documents.
- Give originals to the officer and keep copies for yourself. In most cases you will not be called in front of judge. If officer/court asks for your attorney, feel free to call as at (646)347-694-4524.
If you can not comply because you do not have money to pay the fine or your program or community service is not finished, you still MUST go to court and ask the compliance officer for the new date . This will grant you a few more months to comply. You MUST come on the new date in order to acknowledge that you have finished your compliance or to get yet another date assigned, if needed.
