Re: pink summon

Probably. It depends on which court the ticket is returnable to. If its a criminal court ticket, most judges would let an attorney vacate the warrant immediatley and resolve the case either with a dismissal now or in 6 months. If its a C-summons returnable at 346 Broadway, that is a revenue court (mostly collects fine). There is still a chance the court would allow an attorney to clear it up for you but there might be a fine.

I am a former state and federal prosecutor and now do criminal defense so feel free to contact me.
