it depends on which court and what you're being charged with. Some courts will combine both the arraignment and the pretrial on the same date. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us or visit us at www.danhajji.com. Regardless, you should have a good attorney represent you. Don't just plead guilty as you have options. You don't want a criminal record to stay with you for the rest of your life.
