Misdemeanor Attorneys Lawrenceville

Question: I was arrested in Jan for misdemeanor battery. The arrest warrant had a similar name to mine and I was booked under that name. The arresting officers didn't have the arrest warrant changed to my legal name. I had an arraignment scheduled for April and it was changed to June. I called the Judges' chamber and was informed that my case is no longer on the calendar because it hasn't been "accused". How should I proceed with this?

Answer: Proceed with what the open charges, the info regarding the accusation, what are you referring to? If you miss your court date a bench warrant will be issued and you will be arrested. If the courts have your correct address, the name on the accusation should not matter.

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.
