Can the armed robbery charge be changed without telling?

The computer is NOT the way to determine the charges. You need to look at the indictment coming out of the grand jury.

What happens if I missed 2 court appearances?

By failing to appear on your infractions, there may well be warrants out for your arrest and they could add misdemeanor charges of failing to appear. In addition, the DMV can suspend your license until the failure to appear is cleared up. Your attorney will likely be able to get the failure to appear cleared up and hopefully lower the fines on the underlying tickets. Don't let this go on - it can only get worse.

Can an attorney contact the police without my permission?

Answered by attorney Paula Wasserman Drake (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Paula Drake
It sounds like a form of advertising. Some lawyers pay companies to provide them with a list of names of arrestees and they send out bulk advertising. You are probably one of hundreds that got the same form letter. If you think it is something other than that, you may want to consult a reputable criminal attorney to look into it for you. I do not believe that lawyers who use that form of advertising plan to contact the police or do anything else regarding a case unless and until they are retained by the client; it is usually just an advertising campaign.
