In this episode of Life, Law, and Lattes, host Nadia Gilkes emphasizes the critical importance of attending your court date. Missing it can have serious consequences, including case dismissal, default judgment, bench warrants, or fines.
Nadia advises listeners to double-check their court paperwork, confirm the date, time, and location, and even suggests doing a dry run to ensure punctuality on the big day. For unexpected emergencies, it's crucial to inform your attorney or the court promptly, rather than ignoring the summons.
Treat your court date with the seriousness of a life milestone, such as a graduation or wedding. Show up ready and early to avoid losing your case by default.
