COVID-19 Update

During this difficult time, we are working to reduce the need for our clients to appear in court. We are working to waive your appearance for already existing court dates and will inform you when this occurs.

  • It is very helpful if you keep us updated with your most current contact information so we can communicate with you.
  • Please call our office at 561-355-7500. if there has been a change.
  • If you have an existing court date and haven’t heard from our office about your appearance being waived, please call our office at 561-355-7500.
