Legal Question in Traffic Law in Missouri
I got a few tickets on November 11 one for expired tags and another for a dwi. My court date was today but when i went there they said i wasn't on the docket and that my tickets weren't filed. What am i suppose to do now? Why wouldn't they file them after so long?

Sometimes the law enforcement officer just doesn't get all of his tickets filed with the court. When this happens, the court may simply issue a new court date. The danger is that you may not receive notification in a timely fashion. On a serious charge such as a DWI or DUI, you definitely need to hire the best attorney you can afford. The attorney can probably monitor the new case filings and keep you from being arrested on a warrant. In other cases where there is a history, the prosecutor may be considering refiling the charge at a more serious level. In any event, hire an attorney. You may call medirectly for a free telephone consultation.
