After an arrest, the next court date will be scheduled within a few weeks of the arraignment. If you retain a criminal defense attorney, a waiver of arraignment and not guilty plea will be entered in your case.
As an Attorney I also demand a copy of the police reports and other evidence that the prosecutor intends to use against you including surveillance videos, written statements, or even 911 calls.
After the arraignment, a status or disposition court date will be scheduled every few weeks. After discovery has been completed, the case might be set for motion hearings and jury trial. Contact me today and I'll schedule a consultation so we can discuss the details of your case and best strategies to fight the charge. From that meeting, you will know what you need to do as you fight for the best result in your case.
