Traffic Civil Infraction Pre-Hearing Conference Request
You
may request a Pre-Hearing Conference with a representative from the
Sheriff's Department for the purpose of reaching a plea agreement.
The deputy who issued your ticket will not be subpoenaed to appear. At the conference, you and a deputy representative will have the
opportunity to discuss plea options, which may include a reduction in
points. If you are unable to reach a plea agreement for any reason,
you will still have the opportunity to deny responsibility for the
charge and proceed to either an informal or formal hearing. Please
note that if you decide to request such a hearing, it will be on a
subsequent date, not on the same day as your Pre-Hearing Conference.
Pre-Hearing
Conference requests are available for civil infractions only. Formal
hearings must be scheduled by contacting the Traffic Division at 248-758-3878. Please do not contact the Court or send in your copy of the
signed ticket once your online request is submitted. You will receive
an e-mail confirmation that your request has been received. If you do
not receive the confirmation within one business day, contact the Court
to schedule your hearing. Within two weeks of your submission you will
receive notice of your Pre-Hearing Conference date by US mail.
To
request a Pre-Hearing Conference, please email courtrequests@pontiac.mi.us the requested information and include your full name, your ticket
number, the date the ticket was issued, the address that appears on the
ticket, the mailing address where the notice should be sent, and a
contact phone number.
