arrested and having trouble with attorney

[fesftf]

I hired an attorney to represent me on a criminal matter and she wanted $350 plus $350 for each court apperance. I told her that there were two weeks ,one in august and one in september, that I would be out of town and please try not to schedule court dates during these times. So far two dates have been set both during times I cannot attend. Do I have any recourse and how can I get a court date changed?

UH dopey:

A criminal matter takes #1 PRIORITY......

unless your parents are in intensive care and DYING....

youd better show up in court

you can call the courthouse to see if you can change any of your court dates...you better have a good reason though. Call your attorney and ask her if she can change the dates. Then you need to to reaffirm the date change with a call to the courthouse. I apologize for the insults that some people seem to need to write.
