Re: Urgent
You can retain a lawyer to appear in court and ask for the adjournment on your behalf. Since this is the first time this matter is on the calendar, generally you should not have a problem getting an adjourment. I do suggest you retain an attorney to ultimately resolve this issue. I strongly recommend that you consult with an attorney immediately so that you can explore your legal rights, obligations, and options. If you wish to discuss retaining my services, contact me for a free-consultation at [email protected] (212) 239-2460 or (516) 256-7737

You can hire an attorney to appear in your behalf on the day in question, but you must be represented if you do not want to be held in default.
Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.

You can usually get an adjournment when it is the first date on. Landlord tenant matters are our specialty but you left no phone number to call. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
