What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MO, is this normal now? I've been arrested, never saw a warrant, never got any paperwork at the "justice center" posted bail, bondsman told me to show up the next day for court, (08/11/16) gave the one lawyer all the cash I could gather in 24 hours, and NO COURT in session that day.... Went the next court date, 08/16/16 stood there, judge tells me to come back on another date....went that date, (09/06/16) now we are to back at the end of Sept. 28th, I've received two "letters" from my lawyer telling me not to get on social media....that's his advice.....I've never gotten to say "ABSOLUTELY NOT GUILTY" I've never gotten anything at all, I do recall the attorney saying we'd be waiving my prelim hearing.... when I try to ask him WHAT he is talking about, he acts like he's mad at me. I can NOT get my money back and I am completely lost. I had 1 speeding ticket, 30 years ago....NO other trouble at all, and I have no idea what is going on, he laughed at me when I told him I'd not been read my rights :O or seen a warrant.
