If I have a charge of petty larceny and possession of a schedule 2, do I need an attorney?
I was released on signature bail and have a hearing only 3 business days after the offense? Is the purpose of this date to schedule the actual trail date?

Every judge has a slightly different set of procedures, most will use the early hearings to determine how you want to plea, if there are any pre-trial matters that need to be reviewed, and layout a timelime for when the case could go to trial.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
