Court Dates Arraignment

The arraignment can occur anywhere between three months and eighteen months after the arrest.  At the arraignment, the charges against the accused will be read to the accused by the judge or prosecutor, unless an attorney waives reading of the complaint.  Afterwards the accused will enter a plea or GUILTY or NOT GUILTY.  Sometimes, the judge will address representation at the arraignment.  So, the case will not be delayed.

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.
