    Criminal law
    I am the victim of a forged document used against me in court.
      Within a week of her being arrested I received a letter in the mail from the assistant district attorneys office requesting I call & give any information I have on this case. I have since called several times & left several messages trying to contact someone with no response at all. I I just found out she has court August 3rd & the only way I was even able to find out this information was by calling the Victims assistance program.I don't want the case to end up being thrown out because I am suppse to be there or something & did not even know about. My signature and the notaries signature was forged and we signed Affidavits stating that it wasn't my or the notary signature. What can I do to make sure the woman gets convicted for the possession of forged document when I can't get a hold of the DAs and haven't been notified yet with the court date one week away.

    Trot on down to the DA's office.
    You might as well put your statements in writing to make it easier for them.
    It is possible that the forger's attorney got an extension and the DA's office is just so busy that they are putting you on lower priority at the moment.
    Whenever I've sat through a day of court, half the cases that were called were requests for extensions, each one lasting about 1 minute.

    Perhaps they don't plan on calling you as a witness ?
    Perhaps there is a plea deal in place that you don't know about

    I agree go down and see them in person
