If you missed court in the Municipal Court of Atlanta, you are likely in FTA status. This means that you failed to appear for your court date, and it is probable that your driver’s license has been suspended. The tricky thing about FTAs is that you likely don’t even know that you missed court until you are pulled over and an officer tells you that your license is suspended.

The first step to lifting the FTA is to visit the clerk’s office and request a new court date. If you hire our office, we can complete this step on your behalf and have you scheduled for a new court date. At the new court date, we will address the underlying traffic charge. This could mean just paying a fine, but it may also require an in-court appearance. An experienced lawyer can help you navigate the process quickly and effectively and get you on the road to reinstating your license.

The lawyers at W. Scott Smith are experienced at helping clients resolve FTAs and guiding clients in the best way to resolve the underlying traffic charge. Call us today at 404-581-0999 for a free consultation on how to move forward, resolve the FTA, and have your driver’s license reinstated.
