Outstanding Warrant in New York City?

Involve a Queens & Manhattan Criminal Defense Lawyer

Outstanding warrants are a serious problem; you could be picked up at any time and put in jail awaiting a hearing. If they consider that you are a flight risk, as there is already a warrant, you may not be allowed freedom until the matter is resolved. It is best to address these matters quickly before the situation escalates. It is crucial that you get legal help from a NYC warrants attorney from Musa-Obregon Law PC to take action and help you avoid the serious repercussions you could face.

In some cases the warrant is related to a failure to pay a fine, attend alcohol treatment classes or attend a meeting with a probation officer. There are instances when an individual has moved and not received the order to appear in court; this will not make much difference if you are picked up as you will still be taken to jail to await your hearing on the warrant and the issues that led to it. Bench warrants for a failure to appear can lead to serious trouble and should be acted upon by your defense lawyer at once.

The Warrant Process

In order to obtain a warrant, first a judge and other law enforcement personnel must hold a warrant application hearing. During this hearing, the judge will review the circumstances involved in the case and determine if there is enough probable cause to merit the issuance of an arrest or search warrant. If there is indeed enough probable cause to necessitate a warrant it is highly advisable that you seek out a defense attorney immediately. Trying to avoid or run away from your situation will only make matters worse and you could face additional charges.
