Often time when given a court date, people feel that it is not important enough to miss other things in their schedule for or they just don’t want to come. But what happens when you don’t show up? Today and last week I watched a ton of people not show up and the attorney motion to continue the case. If the judge denies it, the courtroom bailiff calls their name out and does a little old fashion speech stating that their not presence will be recorded. The judge sets a bond and then a warrant is issued for your arrest. Not showing up to court is way more trouble than it is worth and attorneys work really hard in many cases so failure to appear in court is just not worth it for anyone.
