Because questions often fail to disclose important facts, these 'answers' cannot and should not be relied upon as a replacement for a full or complete review of an actual case by a retained attorney.

   If he was given a date to appear either by probation or the court which he did not request, he might be looking at a warrant.
   Why doesn't this person call his attorney for some advice?
