Getting a court summons in the mail or from a process server can be unnerving, and many people are full of questions after they receive their documentation. First, you’re probably wondering if you should call a lawyer – and the answer is YES.

How Do I Get To District Court?
The address for this court is 526 W. Ridge Road, Linwood, Pennsylvania 19061. It’s a single-story light grey brick building with free parking in the front. If you need to call the court with any questions or to clarify your summons, you can call them at 610-859-9748.
What Kind of Cases Will the Judge Hear?
Magisterial District Courts preside over many different types of cases, from criminal to traffic stops. For criminal cases, the judge will oversee preliminary motions before the jury trial. Traffic cases include speeding in excess of 30 miles per hour over the speed limit or even failure to stop at a red light or stop sign.
Other cases that come before this court include what are known as “small claims,” civil disputes where the damages are less than $12,000, including minor lawsuits and cases of landlord-tenant disputes.
No matter how minor you believe your summons to be, you don’t have to face the judge alone.
How Can a Lawyer Help Me?
An attorney protects your rights and keeps you aware of what your rights are throughout the court proceedings. They’re your advocate, on your side, and are dedicated to protecting your freedom and your finances. If you have questions, your lawyer can answer them for you, and help guide you through the often-confusing matters of your case.
If you’ve received a summons for a court date, it’s not too late to retain professional legal counsel. Having a lawyer that understands your case can help you defend yourself, and can help you gather any evidence and documentation you need for both civil and criminal matters. Sometimes, they can even help you reduce your traffic fines and avoid penalizing points on your license!
