Outstanding Warrant

Posted in Legal Questions - Criminal Law

What should I do if I have an outstanding warrant for my arrest?

If there is an outstanding warrant for your arrest, you have an obligation to turn yourself in. There are a few things that can speed up the arrest process. Most arrest warrants come with a money bail amount assigned to them. Once you have determined the bail amount, you can turn yourself in without waiting for the police to stop you or to come to your home or business to make an arrest. You can arrange with a bondsman or family member to post bond and accompany you to the jail for a “walk through” processing which can get you out of jail much more quickly. Should the warrant carry a “no bond”, or if the bond amount is beyond your financial ability to post it, you may retain a lawyer to file a motion to set or reduce bond prior to you turning yourself in.
