Dallas Warrant Defense Attorney

Is there a warrant out for your arrest?

There are two types of warrants which can cause you to be arrested by police officers. The first, a bench warrant, is an order by a judge to arrest a person as soon as he or she is found by police. These are often issued by a judge who deems someone to be in contempt of court, possibly for failing to appear at a court date or for failing to pay court fines. People who have bench warrants out against them are generally unaware of it, and are very surprised to find themselves being arrested for an outstanding warrant when they are pulled over for a minor traffic violation. An arrest warrant, on the other hand, can be an immediate decision by a law enforcement officer if he or she has reason to believe that the defendant has committed a crime.

If you are aware that there is a warrant for your arrest, you should take proactive steps and call a Dallas criminal defense attorney immediately. While you may think that you can evade the law, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to, and it is in your best interest to address the problem as soon as possible instead of avoiding it. By contacting an experienced criminal defense and warrant attorney, you may be able to have the warrant canceled before you are taken to jail. The court procedure and forms can be complex and intimidating; it is always best to have a skilled professional on your side.
