If you suspect or discover that there is a warrant out for your arrest, take immediate and careful action with our help to handle the situation effectively. It’s important to address the warrant calmly and methodically to protect your legal rights and personal well-being. Here are some steps to take:
- Confirm the warrant: The first step is to verify the existence of the warrant and understand its specifics. You can do this by contacting the local police department or the court directly. It’s important to know the details such as the charges and the jurisdiction issuing the warrant.
- Consult with an attorney: Before taking any further steps, it’s crucial to speak with a defense attorney who handles warrants and criminal defense. Our attorney can provide legal advice tailored to your situation and help you understand your rights and options.
- Prepare yourself if an arrest is coming: If an arrest is inevitable, it’s often better to turn yourself in. However, you’ll want to get your affairs in order prior to doing so. This might include arranging for care of your children, addressing work obligations, and organizing your finances. We can coordinate with law enforcement to arrange a time and place for surrender that can potentially minimize public exposure or unnecessary distress.
- Resolve the warrant: Many warrants are issued in error based on false information and can be handled before they’re served. There are many ways to defend against warrants so that you’re never arrested and taken into custody. We can explore every angle to address and resolve the warrant. This may involve challenging the basis of the warrant, negotiating with prosecutors, or preparing for a court appearance. The goal is to resolve it in a manner that minimizes the legal consequences as much as possible.

We can protect you in the face of a state or federal arrest warrant. We handle not only warrants but also underlying criminal charges such as traffic violations, drug crimes, and violent offenses.
