Assistance with Outstanding Court Fines and Fees

If you are having difficulty paying for outstanding fines or fees, or if your case has been assigned to collections, the court may be able to assist you. The Legal Financial Obligation program assists people by considering a reduction in the amount owed by setting up a payment plan, or finding other ways to pay (such as community service).
