Re: Forgot a ticket

Unfortunately for you, you have turned a $10 ticket into a little bit of a problem. In most places an attorney will be able to get the warrant cancelled without the necessity of you being arrested, so paying an attorney can help you avoid a good deal of inconvenience. Or, you could either turn yourself in or wait to be arrested and then post a bond probably in about the same amount of money that the attorney would have cost to get the warrant cancelled and gett the case closed. It's your choice. If I were you, I would pay an attorney.
