Re: missing court date

Based on what you have written, it is unclear if you would do any time in jail for turning yourself into the police. Generally, doing time pursuant to a warrant depends upon the basis for the warrant and the criminal allegations. If my local law firm can assist you with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please contact my paralegal Tina ([email protected]) to arrange for an initial consultation.
