Hire a Trusted Local Criminal Defense Lawyer for Your Desk Appearance Ticket
A Desk Appearance Ticket (DAT) is a notice to appear in court after being arrested for certain offenses (typically misdemeanors but also some non-violent felonies).
While a DAT may seem minor, it is still a criminal charge and can lead to serious consequences, including a permanent record if you are convicted. Also, failing to appear in court for your DAT arraignment can result in a warrant for your arrest.
