A:
Your situation sounds quite complex and stressful. The first step you should take is to consult with a criminal defense attorney. An attorney can help you understand the charges against you, the court process, and can offer guidance on the best course of action.
It's important to address the situation promptly. Ignoring the issue or delaying action can complicate matters further. Your lawyer can help clarify the confusion regarding your court dates and the apparent lack of communication about your case status.
Bring all relevant documents to your attorney, including the letter of reinstatement of bail and any paperwork you received from the court or law enforcement. These will be crucial in understanding the specifics of your case.
Remember, in legal matters, especially those involving criminal charges, professional guidance is invaluable. An attorney can help protect your rights, navigate the legal system, and work towards the best possible outcome in your case.
