Frequently Asked Questions
Los Angeles Attorney at Law: The Law Offices of Sean Tabibian & Associates
How can I get rid of a bench warrant?
If there is a bench warrant out with your name on it, you need to act quickly. There is a specific legal procedure to get the warrant removed, and if the warrant is fairly recent, a Los Angeles Attorney at Law can get it lifted or removed. In cases in which the warrant has remained in the system for a long time (even if you were unaware of it) there may be another more complex legal procedure necessary to have it lifted. At the Law Offices of Sean Tabibian & Associates, an attorney can review your situation and take immediate action to solve this problem. It is crucial that action is taken, as you can be arrested at a traffic stop, at immigration after a trip, and the bench warrant shows up in any state you are in.
Can I clean my criminal record?
The procedure for cleaning your criminal record is called "expungement". This procedure is available to individuals who want to clean their record, but there are requirements and restrictions in this procedure. Some crimes cannot be expunged. There is also the procedure termed "sealing" your criminal record. An attorney from the Law Offices of Sean Tabibian & Associates can assist you with either and can advise you what can be done to expunge or seal your criminal record.
What will happen if I am arrested for a probation violation?
There are a variety of actions that can occur if you are arrested for violation of probation. Ordinarily, you will have a hearing in which it is determined how serious the violation is; if it is a serious violation of probation, it is likely that you will have to serve the jail or prison term you avoided, or it could be increased to a longer stretch of time. Never try to handle a probation violation without a skilled Los Angeles probation violation lawyer to fight to have the probation reinstated. Each case is unique, and a review of your situation is necessary to advise you how to move forward to protect yourself.
What will happen if I fail a drug test while I am on probation?
When failing a court-ordered drug test, the usual action on the part of the court system is to issue a probation violation offense. This ordinarily will land you in jail. There are defense options to assist you in solving this problem, but it will take immediate action on the part of a Los Angeles probation violation defense lawyer from the Law Offices of Sean Tabibian & Associates.
What will happen if I have a bench warrant for a traffic offense?
