Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York
I got a summons for loitering at night in a local park. WHen I called the court and asked how to deal with this, I was told it was just a violation and all I had to do was pay a fine. When I went to pay my fine, I was given a lawyer and had to appear in criminal court and given a second court date. I haven't been able to get in touch with the attorney that was appointed to me. What is going to happen at my next court appearance?

you should endeavor to reach the atty b/c he will know best. However, these cases normally end in an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal or similar outcome.
