Las Vegas traffic tickets specify an arraignment date that can be a month or more away from the date you were pulled over. It is easy to forget the date and miss your court appearance. If this happens, the judge may issue a bench warrant, which means that if you are pulled over again (or the police run your plates for some reason), you can be arrested.
An experienced Las Vegas traffic violation attorney such as Nick Wooldridge can take care of this problem for you to avoid having the court find you in contempt. Contempt can carry its own penalties in addition to whatever fine results from the traffic ticket. The sooner you act, the better.
