Take The Initiative To Resolve An Outstanding Arrest Warrant

Do you think you have an outstanding warrant and are too scared to ask the police? Understandably so. Your first option in obtaining this information should be by conducting an online private search over the internet.

Another option is to visit the court house in the county you believe the warrant was issued. One way to obtain this information is to go in person to the court house and ask for the records department. Be mindful, this method can be very time consuming and inconvenient since typically the court house is only open during normal working hours. Also be advised that this method can also pose some risk for whom the warrant was issued since the individual may be detained by legal officials on the spot. To avoid this, utilize the online court system to get a complete background check and criminal history report.

Once you find out you have an outstanding warrant the best way to deal with it is to obtain legal representation. Taking the initiative to resolve the matter looks good in the eyes of the court. Your defense attorney may even be able to have the warrant recalled or quashed.

Whether the properties of the outstanding warrant are criminal in nature or simply a bench warrant, it's always in your best interest to contact a criminal defense attorney that is well versed in these matters so they can advocate on your behalf. It could be the difference between spending days behind bars or spending time with your family.

It should be noted that once an arrest warrant is issued there is no statute of limitations. This means that the warrant doesn't expire and an individual can be apprehended at any time, anywhere. This isn't a problem that will go away. Every time there is an officer behind you, on foot or on the road, you run the risk of being thrown in jail.

That's no way to live! Take care of your warrants TODAY. Contact San Jose Criminal Defense Attorney William Chestnut at (408)298-6990 for legal defense on your outstanding warrant.

Marriage Partners Have Used Devious Methods Involving Child Custody

Divorce, by many, is considered comparable to death. It taxes us emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and financially. In the midst of it, partners have been known to use devious and underhanded methods in cases involving child custody. Such extents have been sought to falsify documents claiming harm and/or abuse was brought on by the other partner when in fact, it wasn't. In the event of such cases, a person's reputation within the home, community, and work place can be destroyed. A criminal record will impede and impair your possibility of obtaining gainful employment for the rest of your life. All for something that wasn't true.

If you have been falsely accused of abuse, whether it was for spousal or child abuse, or a false restraining order has been issued against you, note the following steps.

1. Hire a competent lawyer who knows what to do in such situations in order to preserve your good name.

2. Contact the clerk of the court and/or judge's office which issued the order, find out if there's going to be a hearing (or file+serve a motion to dissolve and set a hearing), and then get your witnesses to the hearing, using subpoenas, if needed.

Don't wait for a miracle. Gambling with your freedom is ill advised. Often times, a mere suggestion of violence to a judge on behalf of a woman will issue immediate action against the accused. Don't let your character be destroyed.
