Clearing up Old Warrants
We at San Diego Defenders get quite a few calls at the beginning of the year from people that do not want to be arrested on an old warrant. Makes sense to start out the New Year with a clean slate.
If you are reading this and live in San Diego County, you can go to our website and click our “Warrants” link appropriately placed on our links tab on the top tool bar. There just type in any variation of your name, or that of a friend and check to see if there is an outstanding warrant. That you can do without even having to pick up the phone, and No, the Sheriff will not trace where or who checks on warrants. So check away!
Since we handle cases in many counties across California, you can usually Google the county name and warrants. Look for the site which is for that particular county as it is unusual in most other counties to find it on a lawyers website like we place it on www.sandiegodefenders.com .
Okay, once you have located the name you are looking for (and be sure to check the corresponding date of birth usually listed), you should note the bail amount and if it is a “mandatory appearance” warrant.
Then call us at (619) 258-8888 and you can get connected directly to attorney, Daniel Smith, and if successful, I might suggest you call the office directly at (619) 233-6900 to discuss what can be done. Sometimes it can be complicated, so do not be offended that I want you to call me at the office – you know answering services charge by the minute and it gets expensive!
However, there are generally two routes to take in misdemeanor warrants. The first is to post the bond (we can recommend the most economical Bond company) and then, if you retain San Diego Defenders, we can arrange to go to court without you. That is right, without you having to go to court! Whew, what a relief! From there we will negotiate the case or litigate the case, depending on the reason a warrant was issued. Usually bench warrants, a term you may hear, are issued because you did not show up for court, or you need to be reassigned to a program. Either way, let’s take it head on and resolve it.
We have handled thousands of warrant recalls and in some cases, can do the recall without posting bail. Just be honest with us when you call and we will tell you if we think that is possible. However, posting bail is easiest, because then you have some time to make an appointment with us before your court date comes up and when you retain our firm, we can be there for you.
Felony warrants are a different animal, starting with the fact that our client must come to court with us. But, do not hesitate to get these warrants cleared up. Many times an alleged crime may be charged as a felony, but later reduced to a misdemeanor just in negotiations. We have a very good success rate in doing. Our experience, knowledge and reputation for vigorously defending our clients is the reason we have the best success rate for reducing felonies to misdemeanors.
