Your arraignment date is not optional.

Failing to appear will result in the judge issuing a warrant for your arrest—immediately complicating your situation and making any future defense much harder to mount.

​

• A bench warrant will be issued in your name

• Law enforcement can arrest you at any time

• Your credibility and legal options are severely damaged

A failure to appear doesn't just create a warrant—it signals to the court that you are not taking the charges seriously.

This directly undermines your attorney's ability to negotiate or argue on your behalf.

​

• Judges take note of defendants who skip court

• Plea options may be taken off the table

• Your case becomes significantly harder to win

You have two choices by your scheduled date: show up yourself, or have legal representation handle it for you.

Either way, someone must be present. Hiring an attorney before your arraignment is the smartest move you can make right now.

​

• Your attorney can appear on your behalf in many cases

• Early representation protects your rights from day one

• Acting fast gives us more time to build your defense
