If you don’t have an attorney you will be asked to get one and give you another date for another MCH but then it might stop your clock from running! So it’s better to go with one unless you want to be represented by the state attorney! The judge will read out all your rights for you there!your attorney goes with at MCH? I guess if you've your attorney with you at MCH then you get your IMH date then & there but if no attorney then no IMH date?? .. What happens...
