My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
Hi,
I got ticket for petty theft 2 days back 2/22/2012 and have a court date on 3/21/2012. I am pregnant and due in a week and may not be able to attend to court date which is kind of early after my delivery. Today I went to court to see if I can post phone the court date but they do not have anything in the system yet. What should I do now?
Lets say if I am able to make it to the 3/21 court date without lawyer can I just ask for more time myself or it is better to have lawyer with me? How to choose a lawyer...everything is new to me.
How should I proceed now. Please kindly suggest something.
Thanks
