What to do if there is a warrant for your arrest.

1. Don't Panic.
Although being arrested is the first step in a criminal prosecution, it does not mean you are guilty of a crime. It does mean however that the police have some reason to suspect you are guilty of a crime. If a warrant has been issued, it means a judge or magistrate has reviewed information brought to him or her by a police officer or investigator and determined that probable cause exists to believe you may have committed a crime and therefore should be arrested.

2. Consult competent legal counsel.
In this situation you do not have time to waste. Immediately contact our office. Explain the situation and ask for an immediate appointment. We will try to find out which agency obtained the warrant, what the warrant is for, whether or not a bond is set and if so, in what amount. We will try to coordinate arrangements to safely surrender you to the appropriate agency and assist in obtaining bail.
