Re: Notice To Appear In Court

To avoid a lot of future headaches, I recommend that you appear at the place and time shown on your notice and explain to the judge why they have the wrong person. Be sure to have the necessary proof such as driver's license, social security card, or such other evidence as you have demonstrating that you and the accused are different people.

Good luck.
