A DAT is an order to appear in criminal court on a specific date for an arraignment. It means you were arrested but released without having to wait in jail for a judge. Do not ignore it—a warrant will be issued for your arrest.

No attorney can ethically guarantee a specific outcome in a criminal case. However, we can guarantee that we will pursue every available legal avenue, challenge every piece of evidence, and fight relentlessly to achieve the best possible result for you.

Federal courts prosecute violations of U.S. statutes (like interstate fraud, drug trafficking, or immigration crimes). Judges are appointed for life, the procedural rules are stricter, and the sentencing guidelines are far more severe than in state court. You need an attorney specifically admitted to federal practice.
