Don’ t Panic HAVE A WARRANT?

PALEO TOMATO BASIL SALAD

Inspired by Nom Nom Paleo

Finding out there is a warrant out for your arrest is a frightening experience. You go from living your normal life to feeling like a fugitive in an instant. But it’s important not to panic; a calm, measured approach is your best chance of protecting your future. By keeping the tips below in mind, you’ll be prepared to address the accusations against you and avoid landing yourself in even deeper trouble with the law. DON’T RUN When you first learn about a warrant, it can be tempting to skip town. Regardless of your innocence, no one wants to be handcuffed and taken away in a patrol car. But it’s vital you resist this instinct. Law enforcement will find you eventually, and the last thing you want is to add more charges on top of everything else. CONTACT LAW ENFORCEMENT It may sound counterintuitive, but reaching out to the agency that likely issued the warrant against you can help your case. By calling in, you can find out why the warrant was issued and if there are any other charges against you. However, it is likely that law enforcement will then know your location thanks to this call. GO TO A CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAW FIRM YOU TRUST While prosecutors and officers may be looking to bring you into custody, you don’t have to deliver yourself to the jailhouse. Instead, you should seek out an experienced criminal defense attorney who can help you after your arrest or prevent it entirely. Once they understand the details of your case, your lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors and potentially agree upon an alternative, such as an arraignment. Whether or not the arrest still takes place, it’s better to have a talented lawyer working to preserve your rights. If you have an outstanding warrant, Yeargan & Kert, LLC can help. Reach out to us today so we can take the steps necessary to resolve your case.
