Legal Answers
276 Questions Answered
- Q. I have a Fta from Nov 7 warrant wasn’t issued till the 20th will I get bond
- A: You should retain an attorney so they can represent you on these. Courts often do issue no bond warrants when people fail to appear in court. So you will want someone to represent you and to be able to schedule a bond hearing. If not you would need to request a court appointed attorney after you turn yourself in to schedule a bond hearing if the warrant is no bond. The court appointed attorney can also advise you on the charges and represent you. But the sooner you turn yourself in the better.
- Q. I accidentally missed my court date due to a concussion from a car wreck will I get bond original charge misdemeanor
- A: If you can try to line up a lawyer and a bonds person. Usually they give a bond on misdemeanors but when you miss court sometimes they issue a no bond capias so you may have to have a bond hearing and that can take 2-5 days, or longer if you don't have a lawyer. But it all starts with turning yourself in.
- Q. If I was drunk and sleeping in my car and the police came and arrested me and charged me with a dwi. What do I do?
- A: You'll want to talk to a DUI lawyer in the area where you got the charge.
They can walk you through any potential defenses and potential negotiating outcomes.
