Desk Appearance Ticket (D.A.T.)

A Desk Appearance Ticket (D.A.T) is a written notice to appear in Court for Arraignment—where criminal defendants are formally advised of their charges and asked to enter a plea. D.A.T’s are often issued after an arrest for a Violation or Misdemeanor instead of being placed in jail. They are occasionally issued for Felonies. A D.A.T. must be taken seriously as it is not a get out of jail free card. The arraignment is only a first appearance in court, and jail time, fines, probation, community service, and more may follow.

Don’t wait until after your D.A.T to hire an attorney. Reach out to The Law Office of Sean B. Oster to secure quality legal representation!

Attorney Sean B. Oster

There are times in life when the need for legal representation will arise, and it is my goal to make such times as stress-free as possible. I am passionate about Criminal Law, and here to help you navigate the complicated legal process.

My passion for law was ignited while I interned with the Manhattan District Attorney’s office in high school. I went on to major in Criminology at the University of Miami. While in law school I joined the Criminal Law Society and was accepted into the prestigious and nationally recognized Defender’s Clinic. This intensified my Criminal Law training, focusing heavily on cases, statutes, and procedure. This is also where I handled my first real-life Arraignment. During law school I interned with the Brooklyn D.A.s Office, working simultaneously under 2 ADAs. In addition to my legal studies, I worked for 3 summers with the Police Athletic League serving underprivileged children.

As a Boutique Law Firm, I ensure that each of my clients are of equal priority. My goal is always to identify the best solutions for your individual needs. If you or a loved one are facing a Criminal Misdemeanor charge—I will be by your side from start-to-finish.
