San Diego Arrest Warrant Attorney

An arrest warrant is an order given to the police, demanding the arrest and detention of a person. These warrants typically will be issued where there is suspicion of criminal activity. For example, when law enforcement reasonably suspects criminal activity has occurred, the police or sheriff will obtain a sworn statement from the alleged victim, present it to a judge who will sign an order for the arrest of that person.

Arrest and Bench Warrants

The San Diego district attorney or law enforcement can also sign a sworn statement to obtain an arrest warrant. Another example of when an arrest warrant is issued is after a Grand Jury indictment. In most situations, however, you would not become aware that an arrest warrant exists until the police arrest you.

Where Can Arrest Warrants Be Served?

The arrest warrant can be served at one’s place of business or home, making it an embarrassing and highly inconvenient situation. When the police or sheriff’s deputies execute the arrest warrant, they handcuff the suspect and take him or her to jail. In high-profile cases, there may even be news media present for the arrest. Thereafter, the arrested person is taken to court.

Hiring a San Diego Arrest Warrant Attorney Is Essential

Do not attempt to go to court to explain the case to the judge without experienced legal counsel. Unfortunately, far too many individuals have tried and failed in their attempt to offer what seems like a valid excuse. Most judges have heard all of the excuses that are offered and may not be willing to hear the same thing again. Call us immediately to present the legal arguments that are appropriate to your case, so the arrest warrant can be recalled (cleared).

Bench Warrants

Bench warrants are the most common type of warrant in California; a bench warrant is an order for the immediate arrest of a person. Typically, bench warrants are issued by the court as a result of one’s failure to appear in court on the date scheduled for a hearing. Additionally, a bench warrant is issued if you do not appear for your arraignment (time to enter a plea of not guilty) after being charged with a crime, if you fail to appear for your sentencing hearing and/or you fail to appear or show proof of your compliance with a court-ordered term of your probation (such as payment of fines, attendance at certain classes, completion of community service, etc.).
