Will I have to go to court for a speeding ticket in Florida?

You’ll receive a summons in the mail with a court date. If you do not hire counsel to represent you and appear at that court date for you, then you absolutely will have to comply with the summons and go to court and represent yourself on that day. That’s something that you definitely don’t want to miss. It can lead to a suspension of your license. However, the path of least resistance is to hire a law firm to represent you and to be there on your behalf.
