Traffic Violations
Four primary areas of moving violations are addressed in front of the 35th District Court in Plymouth Michigan: DUI or Drunk Driving, Moving Violations, Civil Infractions and Misdemeanors. Watch this video for an overview of how Aldrich Legal Services can assist you.
The following information is provided by the 35th District Court in Plymouth Michigan for those facing a moving violation.
Traffic cases are initiated when a ticket is filed with the court, and criminal cases are initiated when a “complaint and warrant” is signed by the judge or magistrate. The court staff must then create a file, schedule hearings and arraignment, and lastly send notices to the appropriate parties. In an effort to serve both the people and communities, the 35th District Court has developed a docket management plan that enables the court to adjudicate most cases within five weeks of the date of violation. The keys to our success are the Limited Adjournment and Same Day Sentencing policies.
If the violation for which you were cited appears below, and you wish to pay the fine, click here after determining the proper amount of the fine.
If it has been more than 20 days since the ticket was issued add $35.00.
If it has been more than 56 days since the ticket was issued, contact the court immediately by telephone or in person. Your Driver’s License may already be suspended.

All fines for moving violations doubled in construction zone, school zone, or emergency scene.
The court will notify you if your payment is not complete.
