What to do if I have been unable to reach my lawyer to obtain a judge’s approval of an address changeso I had to move out of state without consent?
I was released on an O.R. bond and one of the conditions states that a judge must approve an address change prior to moving. I have been unable to reach my court appointed lawyer for 2 months despite repeated attempts. I have moved out of state to come stay with family because I had no place to live in the state in which I was arrested. I am worried that a warrant will be issued for my arrest. How should I proceed?

If your court appointed attorney has not responded to your inquiries as to obtaining a judge's approval so that you can move out of state with an address change, you need to continue calling, faxing and e mailing the lawyer as to the status of the request that you want.
Another option is for you to retain another attorney to do the task that you want done since you are making no headway with the attorney that you presently have. Another option would be to contact the state bar of the state where your current attorney is licensed to practice law and see what efforts it can do to get your attorney to be responsive to your inquiries.
