Your first court date is not just a formality. It sets the tone for your case and can influence what happens next. Knowing your rights, your options, and what the court expects from you can make a meaningful difference.
What makes a crime a felony is the severity of the offense and the penalties it carries, specifically whether it is punishable by more than one year in prison.
A warrant does not automatically mean you will be arrested immediately, but it does mean law enforcement has the authority to detain you. Knowing what to do if you have a warrant, and acting quickly and strategically can make a difference in how your case unfolds.
