It's a way to have a law enforcement representative or prosecutor review your case without having to come to court for a hearing.
It’s free and you can do it at your convenience from home, work, or school on your phone, tablet or computer.
You could get your charge amended to one with fewer or no driver's license points imposed by the Michigan Secretary of State. And you can do it online rather than going to court.
It’s not. There’s a law enforcement representative or prosecutor on the other side making decisions about your case based on the same criteria they would if you went to court. It just takes place through this website.
You submit a request online. You will then receive an email with a link to set your password. Once you set your password, you can log in to check the status of your case at any time.
The law enforcement officer/prosecutor will then review your request. Once your case has been reviewed, you will receive a text message and email notification.
If an offer is made for a reduced charge, you must log in within 3 calendar days to either accept or reject the offer. If you accept the offer, this charge must be paid in full within 2 weeks from the date of acceptance. If not paid in full within 2 weeks, you will be found responsible by default to the original charge as issued on the ticket and a $50 late fee will be added.
If no offer is made or you reject the offer made by the law enforcement representative/prosecutor, you will automatically be scheduled for an Informal Hearing with the Magistrate and issuing officer, and Notice will be mailed to the address on file with the court.
No.
Everyone makes mistakes. If you have a good driving record, the law enforcement representative or prosecutor may be willing to offer you a lesser charge that does adds fewer or no points to your license.
Having points on your license can raise your insurance rates, subject you to driver responsibility fees, or result in a suspension of your license to drive.
If you accept the offer from the law enforcement representative/prosecutor, you must pay the new fine amount in full within two weeks of the acceptance date. If you fail to do so, you will be found responsible by default to the original charge as issued on the ticket and a $50 late fee will be added.
Fourteen (14) calendar days from the date the ticket is issued. If you wait past the 14 days, you are ineligible for Online Case Review and will not be able to submit a request.
You will automatically be scheduled for an Informal Hearing with the Magistrate and issuing officer, and Notice will be mailed to the address on file with the court. If you need to update your mailing address, email mailrequests@34thdistrictcourt-mi.org to ensure that you receive your Notice.
It depends on your record and other criteria set by the court and law enforcement. Just enter your ticket information and do a search to find out. If you are, click “request review” to submit a request. Whether your request is approved is entirely up to the court and law enforcement.
It could mean your ticket is too old or that you have too many past offenses or open tickets. Try a search. If you are ineligible, we’ll tell you why.
Yes. The fine could change based on the new charge.
If an offer is made and you accept the offer, you must pay the total amount due within 2 weeks of the date of acceptance. If not paid in full within 2 weeks, you will be found responsible by default to the original charge as issued on the ticket and a $50 late fee will be added.
We will email you, text you, and update the message on your case status page. You will need to return to your status page to review the offer and accept it or reject it within 3 calendar days. If not accepted or rejected within 3 calendar days, you will be found responsible by default to the original charge as issued on the ticket and a $50 late fee will be added.
No. This website is not “automated.” There’s a law enforcement representative or prosecutor on the other side making decisions about your case based on the same criteria they would if you went to court. The offer they extend through this website is the same as you’d get in court. It simply takes place online.
Whether or not you want submit a request is up to you. Keep in mind that certain 0-point charges will still be reported to the Michigan Secretary of State. That information is then available to your insurer.
