Re: failure to show

If you want quick action, you will need to hire a lawyer. Probably, he will be able to get your son out quickly (assuming that I understand the facts you have given). Your son should get credit for all of the time he has served since he was arrested. If you wish to discuss this further, you can call me at (863) 648-1700.
