Attorney Matt Knauss explains many people's common questions regarding what it means when a police officer tells them to wait for a court notice in the mail. He covers the uncertainty that follows such a statement, the reasons for the waiting period, and how his firm can assist in monitoring potential case filings. Here's a summary of the key points:

  1. Waiting for the Court Notice: When a person is arrested or investigated for a crime and then released, they're often told they might receive a notice in the mail to come to court. However, prolonged silence can often lead to confusion and anxiety about the case's status.
  2. What it Means: According to Matt, these cases are typically waiting to be reviewed by someone at the prosecutor's office, who will decide on charges and when to file the case. This waiting period can extend until the statute of limitations expires.
  3. Dealing with the Wait: Matt acknowledges that this period can be stressful. While little can be done to expedite this, his firm helps clients understand what to expect and monitors court databases for case filing. This monitoring ensures that clients will not miss their court date and risk an arrest warrant if the notice is missing in the mail.

Matt invites viewers in this situation to contact his firm for assistance.
