QUESTION
Can I call the court from the hospital, tell them I've been admitted and won't be able to go on the 27th or do I need an attorney to do that for me?

More details to this question:
My attorney charged me $2,500 for my case. Now he tells me that $2,500 was just for the preliminary hearing. Now, he wants another $3500 for trial after I pleaded guilty. I'm about to be admitted into the hospital but have court on Monday. Can anyone please give me advice on what to do. Thank you.

If your attorney won't postpone the case for you, call the judge's secretary and tell them the situation. They normally will accept a letter from your doctor's office faxed to them as proof you cannot attend court.
