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.
