Traveling from out of state to or through Arkansas?
Maybe you are just traveling to a never-been-before corner of the state?
It is common for travelers to get a traffic ticket, or other minor offense ticket, in a town or locale they are not from. It can be very costly to travel to court challenge a ticket or to even try to work out a reasonable plea bargain with the local prosecuting attorney. Such costs could be:
1. Gas for car or plane ticket.
2. Lost wages.
3. Child care expenses.
4. Missing school.
5. Possibility that the case will get continued and you might have to show up again.
Arkansas statute allows for an attorney, in non felony cases, to stand in and accept a plea on his/her client’s behalf if authorized by the client and approved by the court. This can 1) allow a person the ability to possibly avoid a court appearance and 2) offer a client the ability to have an advocate in court and negotiate a reasonable plea bargain.
