What should I wear to court?
When you are going to court, especially if you have never been there before, it is a very scary experience. One thing that most people are concerned about is if they dress appropriately.
For the most part, there is no dress code for defendants going into court. Generally the dress code is for attorneys. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t dress nicely. Showing up to court in a collared shirt, or a shirt and tie, with a nice pair of dress pants will look much better than showing up in a ripped pair of jeans, shorts, or a t-shirt. If you look the part, the prosecutor and the judge will know that you are taking things seriously.
Some counties do have dress codes specific to their court, so always make sure to call and check with court administration prior to attending your hearing. If you are charged with a DWI/DUI, you need to seek legal representation. Call Gerald Miller, P.A. today to set up your free consultation.
