Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Public urination

I was given a summons for PU in Manhattan NY. I did not sign the summons, however, the court date is 27th June and I will be out of the country. Is there any way to have the date moved forward or put back? Happy to pay lawyer fees to help with this.

Also I understand I should expect a fine in the region of $100 if I plead guilty? Is there a chance of a record if its a first offence?

Re: Public urination

An attorney should appear for you on June 27 with proof that you are out of the country (i.e. a copy of your tickets, etc.). The court will adjourn the case. In the extreme, the court could issue a warrant but that is not likely to happen under the circumstances. Once you do appear in court, its likely that you can work out a favorable disposition. I am a former Assistant DA and could handle your case if you wanted me to. Please feel free to contact me.
