If you would like to seek advice about your violation or seek assistance with resolving the violation prior to your court hearing, you may contact a defense attorney. Alternatively, you may negotiate directly with the U.S. Attorney’s Office to attempt to resolve your violation prior to your court hearing.
To discuss the violation with a defense attorney, you may contact the CVB Clerk at the Federal Public Defender's Office (FPD). If you qualify for representation, the FPD may represent you in court. Alternatively, you may retain a defense attorney at your own cost, or you may represent yourself in court or in negotiations with the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
The U.S. Attorney's Office represents the federal agencies that issue the violation notices. You may contact their office directly and without the assistance of a defense attorney to discuss the violation, a payment plan, or a reduction of the total collateral.
