What to do if there is a warrant out for your arrest
- An arrest warrant is an order by the court for any law enforcement officer who finds you to arrest you and place you in the county jail.
- If you know there is a warrant out for your arrest you are legally obligated to turn yourself in to law enforcement.
- Anyone who helps to hide you knowing that there is a warrant for your arrest may be charged with a crime.
Reason for wanting an attorney at this stage:
An attorney can coordinate with law enforcement for you to give yourself up with the least amount of hassle and embarrassment. In addition, having an attorney on hand when you are arrested serves to protect your rights during the process.
