Q: I do not want to go because I only had 2 days notice to find a lawyer. I got papers monday and court date is weds. Obviously I do not have a lawyer and really want one present and do not want to go alone. Is there a chance of jail? Can i request a continuation?
A: Yes, it's possible a warrant can be put out for your arrest. Please do specify whether your case is in criminal court or Family Court as it makes a big difference in the answer provided. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
