Will my boyfriend walk if I don’t show up and press charges?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
While it is possible that the charges could be dismissed if you did not appear, the dismissal would be without prejudice meaning they could re-file the charges. Also, the judge could grant the prosecutor an adjournment or a delay in the case which means there would be another court date for you to come back to. You can always tell the prosecutor that is your desire for the case not to proceed, but it is the sole discretion of the prosecutor on whether or not to press or pursue criminal charges. If you do not appear, the court could issue a bench warrant for your arrest and hold you in contempt and you could possibly go to jail for up to 93 days. While it is not ideal, prosecutors can and will sometimes proceed with a reluctant or un-cooperative witness.

How to fire my court appointed lawyer?

Warren S. Hecht
Answered by attorney Warren S. Hecht
Criminal Law lawyer at Warren S. Hecht
If you retain your own lawyer then you can discharge your court appointed attorney. If you want to have another court appointed lawyer then you have to make a request to the judge, which should be done by motion. Some judges may let you do it orally.
