Legal Question in Criminal Law in Arizona
Dropped Charges
I have an appointment for a court date but have been informed by the person pressing the charges that they are going to call and drop them. What is my next step? Do I still have to show up at court at the assigned time? What is the court process when I show up?

Re: Dropped Charges
Once criminal charges are formally filed, only the DA can dismiss them. You should keep the court date, and obtain legal representation by an AZ lawyer, or at least legal advice, before going to court.
