A judge may issue a warrant for your arrest when you are ordered to appear in court. A judge may issue a warrant for any of the following reason:
- Failure to make a court appearance;
- A new charge has been filed against you;
- Failure to pay court fines;
- Failure to complete court imposed obligations;
- Any other reason the court may find reasonable to issue a warrant.
An attorney can be of great assistance in this regard, so you do not have to enter the courtroom on your own, as a judge can order you into custody immediately. If this happens he will set a bail amount, and you would then have to post a bond to get out.
If there is a warrant against you, we can assist by appearing in court and requesting the court to recall your warrant. Additionally, we can request an “O.R.” or “own recognizance release, where you would not be required to post bail.
If the court has already set a bail amount in a prior proceeding, the likelihood is much greater that if you show up in court, the judge will order you into custody.
If the warrant has been issued as a result of a felony charge, we can arrange to have a bail bondsman in advance of your appearance, so they will be prepared to bail you out if you are ordered into custody.
