Kidnapping Attorneys in Lawrenceville

Question: What if i refuse to testify or go to court against a false imprisonment, or kidnapping charge will the charges be dropped ?

Answer:
I assume that you are a witness. If the prosecutor gets annoyed, the prosecutor can issue a material witness warrant, which means that you can be jailed until the case goes to trial. So, as an annoyed prosecutor, I would jail you, schedule the case for about 60 days out, and see what type of mood you were in after spending 60 days in jail. Once I called you to testify, I would use your prior statements against the accused, and charge you with obstruction, after I obtained a conviction against the accused. I would oppose your bond on the obstruction charge (or false report) and would teach you not to play with the government. But to answer your question, if you do nto show up the charges might be dropped.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
