If you missed a court date in the Municipal Court of Atlanta, you may now have “FTA” (Failure to Appear) status. This means you didn’t show up for your scheduled court date, and the court may have suspended your driver’s license as a result. Many people don’t realize this has happened until an officer pulls them over and tells them their license is suspended.

To lift an FTA, start by contacting the court clerk and requesting a new court date. If you hire our office, we can handle this step for you and reschedule your case. At your new court date, you’ll need to address the original traffic charge. In some cases, you can resolve the matter by paying a fine, but in others, you’ll need to appear in court.

An experienced attorney can make the process smoother and faster while guiding you toward reinstating your license. The team at W. Scott Smith has extensive experience helping clients resolve FTAs and handle their traffic cases effectively. Call us today at 404-581-0999 for a free consultation.
