If you have a criminal warrant issued for your arrest, it is extremely important to take care of and recall the warrant immediately (this means the warrant is cleared). Failure to do so could result in an officer arresting you at home, work, or even when an officer pulls you over for a simple traffic matter.
The best way to determine if a warrant is active is to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately. Our law office knows how to handle warrants in order for you to remain out of custody in Fresno, CA.
A criminal warrant can be issued for any criminal charge, whether it is a misdemeanor or felony. There are three ways that a criminal warrant can be issued:
1) Failure to appear in court (bench
warrant)
2) The court issued an arrest warrant to maintain jurisdiction
3) Violation of probation.
Failing to correct the warrant with an experienced criminal lawyer can lead to more problems, including an arrest at home or work, at any time.

criminal warrant cleared and staying out of jail in Fresno, is to retain a criminal defense attorney. By hiring a criminal defense lawyer that is
experienced with criminal warrants and knows how to clear them, you stand a better chance of staying out of custody.
