Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

harassment case

My son has a misdemeanor 3 case pending in criminal court. He just received a letter from his public defender stating the case will come up sometime between March 2-15 no exact date or time. The problem is we are going on vacation the first week. We have tried to contact the Public Defender to see if it can be scheduled the 2nd week but she hasn't called back all week. What can we do?

Re: harassment case

Not much. You can go online and see court calendar. In Dauphin County that would be a Miscellaneous Court case. From what your describing is a case that will be tried during the weeks the court has criminal trials. You're unlikely to get any more specifics till March if at all.

You might be able to get a continuance but that would be up to the Public Defender and the DAs Office if they agree then you could get one. If not then the judge would decide.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
