Los Angeles Failure to Appear Attorney

Failure to Appear Warrant in Los Angeles?

When an individual has a court date, either criminal or civil, and they fail to appear in court, a warrant will immediately be issued to pick them up and bring them into custody.  If the court appearance is related to a sentencing hearing, or in a court date for a felony charge, the failure to appear charge could result in a $5,000 fine and up to a year in jail.  In most cases, the failure to appear is charged as a misdemeanor and carries its own sentence and fine.  It is very serious to have a warrant for your arrest in a failure to appear charge.  You may be arrested anywhere, including at work, at home or at an airport while entering the country after a vacation.  There are few things more humiliating or embarrassing than being led out in handcuffs based on a failure to appear warrant.  It is critical that you get legal assistance from a Los Angeles failure to appear lawyer at once if you are in this position.
