What will MOST LIKELY happen at his court date? ?
failing to appear and they are both felonies. not sure what you mean he did a year for them. obviously he did not complete something or they would say time served. my guess is he served a year, was on probation, and did not fulfill his probation. he could be staying in jail or prison for a while.

What happens if my lawyer doesn't show up in court?
It depends upon the nature of the proceeding - civil or criminal, and also depends on whether you show up. In a criminal case, in almost all instances the defendant will be required to be present in the courtroom. In those rare instances in which the attorney’s appearance will substitute for the defendant’s appearance, the failure of the attorney to appear, and you don’t appear, a bench warrant for your arrest will be issued for failure to appear in court at the date and time ordered. If you are out on bail and fail to appear in court, the failure to appear cancels your bail and a warrant for your arrest will issue. If you appear in court and the attorney fails to appear, you should ask for a continuance based on absence of counsel. This will almost always be granted. However, a judge could be difficult and assign a public defender to represent you at that moment and direct the case to go forward. This would be highly unusual in all but a minor offense, such as a traffic offense, in which a conviction would not result in jail time, but only a fine.In a civil case, failure to appear can result in a default judgement in favor of the other party. Default judgements are not final until a 30-day period has run, during which your attorney could file a motion to set aside the default judgment and request a new trial date. For example, if you attorney was representing another client in a different matter and the trial unexpectedly ran an extra day, that would be a reason for setting aside the default and rescheduling. However, the judge would still be upset with the attorney’s failure to notify him/her of the schedule conflict. At a minimum, you would have an angry judge that could take it out your side when the trial actually occurs at a later date. Or, the judge could find the attorney in contempt and order the attorney to pay a fine, immediately, or even put the attorney in jail for several hours.The lesson here is always appear at your trial date and time, even if not required to do so. If neither you nor your attorney show, the consequences to you could be arrest (in a criminal case) or dismissal of your case if you are suing someone in civil court, or loss of the case if you are a defendant in a civil case.

What happens when you miss a court date for a misdemeanor charge?? (Help asap)?
--- Call the agency where the charge originated from and ask if there is a warrant and what the particulars are. Is it a bench warrant, is there a bond possible, etc. --- Likely it is a bench warrant if he skipped out on a criminal charge. If it is a bench warrant then it means he must be held in jail until he can be adjudicated by a judge. However, if it was a ordinance shoplifting charge then there might be the possibility of just paying off the bond. --- Whence you do call the jail or agency if it is a bench warrant and he must go to jail until court then do it this way. Once you have the information and know he has to be held then have him turn himself in on a TUESDAY as close to 7am as possible. Don't go in Monday as the court will be backed up with the weekend load from the jail and he might end up being held over night. On TUESDAY or WEDNESDAY all that waits is what came in that previous night and usually most people don't party on Mondays or Tuesdays. If you get him to go in at about 7am then he will be processed and his paperwork has time to get to the Courts. Then its very possible he could see the judge on the same day. --- However if he was sentenced already then he may have to go to jail to serve out his sentence straight away. That is why you need to call the jail or agency BEFORE TURNING HIMSELF IN. Good luck..

What happens if a court notice is not received by me?
Generally speaking, if you don’t receive notice on a legal matter then you won’t appear when expected, and you’ll either wind up with a bench warrant for your failure to appear or a default judgment entered against you, depending on the specifics of the situation.Both of these can usually be remedied upon discovery that you did not receive notice by contacting the court and scheduling a hearing to resolve the problem.Note: if you did something to intentionally avoid service, don’t expect the court to look kindly on your activities.
