Frequently Asked Questions

How are fines, court-appointed attorney’s fees, and restitution paid?
 

Fines, court-appointed attorney’s fees, and restitution are all paid for at the Clerk of Court’s window, although the payment arrangements for each may be made differently.  A defendant must make a payment agreement for fines with the Clerk of Courts Office, but a defendant must make a payment agreement for court-appointed attorney’s fees and restitution with either the Clerks of Courts Office or Court Services Office, depending on the county.  When making a payment at the Clerk of Court’s Office, a defendant must be sure to indicate to what file the money should be applied and what the money is for (fines, court-appointed attorney’s fees, or restitution).  A defendant must pay at least $25 per month, and that amount may be more depending on the defendant’s resources and the amount owed.
