HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THERE IS A WARRANT FOR YOUR ARREST?

Checking with the court is one of the most effective ways to find out whether or not a warrant has been issued for your arrest. It is important to check the records of each court in a jurisdiction where you believe a warrant may exist. You will see a status code in red text that says: “Case is delinquent”. Instead of trying to gather information on outstanding warrants by yourself, you can hire an attorney to do this for you.

A missed payment or a failure to appear in court can result in the issuance of an arrest warrant. If you fail to appear in court, the judge may issue a warrant for your arrest. If you learn that there is a warrant out for your arrest, it may be best to consult an attorney before you contact the authorities. If you cooperate with the authorities and comply with your warrant, they may be less likely to impose severe penalties. Identity theft, mistaken identity and other causes of wrongful arrest can lead to warrants being issued for your arrest If someone uses your personal information to commit a crime, you could be held accountable for that person’s actions.

It is important that, at all times, you are the only person registered as owner of a property.
