What will happen when I go to court?
  • If your case requires a court appearance, you must appear in court on the date listed on your ticket or bond. You will appear before the Honorable Judge Brackin and enter a plea of guilty or not guilty to the charge. 
  • If you plead guilty, the judge will determine your fine based on the evidence against you and you will be required to pay the fine and costs in full at the time.
  • If you plead not guilty, a trial will be held at that time. The Judge has the discretion to set a fine up to $500.00 and in some cases up to $5,000.00 plus cost. 
  • If you do not know if your case requires a court appearance, and you want an estimated fine and cost you may contact the Orange Beach Municipal Court at 251-981-2444
