What Right Law Group attorneys say

sometimes you'll see a court date pop up where it says advisement or it says that you're set for an advisement of charges so what does that mean basically what happens is if you're charged with a crime you have to be told what that charge is and you have to be told what the elements of that charge are so that you can understand exactly what the state is trying to bring against you so an advisement date is simply a date where the judge or the magistrate will tell you okay these are the charges that you have against you these are kind of the general elements they don't have to go through every single specific iteration of them but they have to say generally what the charges are and tell you what your possible penalties are that you're facing
