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. The 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 first become aware that an arrest warrant exists until the police make the arrest.
The arrest warrant can be served at one's place of business or home, making it an otherwise embarrassing and highly inconvenient situation. When the police or sheriff execute the arrest warrant, they handcuff the person and take them to jail. In high profile cases, there may even be news media present. Thereafter, those arrested are taken to court.
If you become aware there is an outstanding arrest warrant, you should contact Samuel Spital & Associates immediately because you are at risk of being arrested any time. We can ensure law enforcement do not obtain any statements, admissions or confessions from you. Any statements made to the police or sheriff can and will be used against you, no matter how innocent you may feel they are.
For your San Diego arrest warrant attorney, contact criminal defense attorney Sam Spital. We handle these cases on a regular basis and will go to court to cancel the arrest warrant and, if possible, avoid any custody in jail. We are skilled and experienced advocates. We will present the arguments to the court that are necessary to have our clients released without posting any bail; in those cases where bail is ordered, we will argue the necessary grounds to lower the bail amount, thereby facilitating one's release.
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 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 Samuel Spital & Associates to present the legal arguments that are appropriate to your case so the arrest warrant can be recalled (cleared).
A Bench Warrant, the most common type of warrant in California, 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.).
