A DUI in Junction City typically will mean a notice to appear in Junction City Municipal Court. Junction City Municipal Court is NOT the Geary County District Court. The Municipal Court is at 225 W. Seventh Street, which is south west of the Geary County District Court.
When you appear in Junction City Municipal Court, you will be called in the order that your file appears on the judges desk unless you have a Junction City attorney to represent you. It's important that you dress appropriately when you appear in any courtroom and the Junction City Municipal Court is no exception. Furthermore, you will not curry any favor with the judge by being late or by being disrespectful.
When you appear for the first time, the judge will ask you if you are going to hire an attorney, if you would like one to be appointed to you, or if you'd like to be your own attorney and be "pro se." Before you can have an attorney appointed to you by the Junction City Municipal Court Judge, you must have a case that will result in jail time. Without a possible jail sentence, you will not qualify for a public defender. The second requirement before the Judge will appoint a public defender to your case is that you must be found "indigent." This means you don't have enough money and don't make enough money to hire your own attorney.
If you find yourself in either Junction City Municipal Court or Geary County District Court, contact an knowledgeable attorney in the Junction City area to help you with your situation.
