Unfortunately, the clerk can't reschedule your arraignment. If you received proper notice, you are bound to appear on your court date. The State Attorney will not communicate with you about your case so you have a few options. Call the clerk's office and find out if a bond has been set on your warrant. If so, you can surrender to the Sheriff and post bond and get a new date, if you want to do it yourself. A lawyer may be able to set a hearing and have your original bond reinstated or have a bond set so that you can post it and stay out of jail. I have an office in Boca Raton if you want to discuss this further. www.randybermanlaw.com 561-866-5717

As the date was only yesterday we may be able to get the judge to sign an order vacating the warrant that was issued. If we cannot do this with a motion then we would set a Motion to Surrender and appear in court at which time we could ask the judge to vacate the warrant. In your situation time is of the essence, please feel free to give me a ring if you would like to speak further. My office is here in Broward County where I previously worked as a prosecutor.

If it is for a misdemeanor offense; I would call the Clerk of Court. Many times they can give you a new date, or some judges actually reset the Arraignment if a person does not show and formal charges were not filed yet. Alternatively, you could find out who your judge is, write the judge explaining your situation, and teh judge may reset your date. But, I would recommend retaining a lawyer.
