If you have not made a court appearance concenring your misdemeanor ticket for soliciting without a permit as a door to door salesperson, you need to immediately contact the court clerk and inquire as to the status of your case. If you have failed to attend the first appearance, most likely there is a bench warrant for your arrest issued due to your failure to appear.If this is the situation, you need to advise your employer of this, hire a criminal defense attorney to represent you and get this matter rectified. Your employer is required to pay for this attorney in that he or she failed to use due diligence by not realizing a permit was required for the tasks he had you and your co-worker do.If the first appearance has not occured yet, you still need to retain a criminal defense attorney to assist in the matter's resolution.In most states the penalty for a misdemeanor is up to six (6) months in jail and a one-thousand dollar ($1,000.00) fine. Most likely in the end you will have no jail time, have a fine of five-hundred dollars ($500.00) and have some sort of a probationary period.Good luck.
