Having a warrantout for your arrest, or ordering your appearance in court, is a serious matter. Police in Los Angeles can go to great lengths to get you to comply. There are, however, qualified Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys who know how to work with the courts to get warrants dropped.
For example, a warrantfor Lindsay Lohan's arrest was dropped Monday after a Beverly Hills judge said the actress-singer is in full compliance with terms of her probation for a drunken driving conviction. The Los Angeles Superior Court judge, at a brief hearing Monday morning, said that when she signed the warrant on Friday she did not have updated information.
Lohanwas arrested twice in 2007 on charges of driving under the influence, and in the second incident also was charged with cocaine possession.The first arrest -- in May -- came after Lohan lost control of her Mercedes-Benz convertible and struck a curb in Beverly Hills. Just two weeks after checking out of a Malibu drug and alcohol rehab facility, she was arrested again in July 2007 after a woman called Santa Monica police saying Lohan was trying to run her down with a car. A judge sentenced Lohan to three years' probation after she entered guilty and no-contest pleas to the charges.
If you believe there is an outstanding arrest warrant or bench warrant for you in California, you are at risk of being arrested by the police and brought to jail or court at any time. Although you do not need an attorney to assist with your warrant, you are at a huge disadvantage if you represent yourself.
If you have an outstanding bench warrant or arrest warrant and you need assistance in clearing or recalling the warrant, call the attorneys at Rodriguez, Lewis & Kahn. Do not attempt to go yourself and talk to the judge. The judge has heard every excuse and won't have the patience or desire to listen to you. Let Rodriguez, Lewis & Kahn assist with handling your arrest warrant or bench warrant.
