REQUEST FOR REDUCTION

Reduction requests must be emailed to probateoffice@pikecoga.gov or delivered to the office by 5:00 p.m. on the Friday before your scheduled court date. After the court has determined whether or not your request is allowed based on the charges against you, the prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Michael Rogers will review all requests. The court will then contact you regarding your citation(s) to let you know whether or not your request has been approved based on his recommendation and to provide information for your next steps.

If your request is approved you will receive a plea recommendation sheet that must be signed and returned to the court before you are allowed to pay any fines and dispose of your case.
