Criminal Defense Lawyer in Los Angeles

Are you facing issues with arrest warrants?

When you have a warrant issued with your name on it, every day you are under the threat of being arrested and thrown in jail. It is an urgent matter to get the warrant resolved before this occurs. There are many types of warrants, from those related to unpaid tickets, bench warrants and those related to criminal accusations. In some cases it is related to a probation violation and if you are picked up, you could expect serious trouble. You will potentially fact the full jail sentence you avoided by being given probation, or even longer. If you are in this dangerous legal situation, we advise you to contact a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney from Takakjian & Sitkoff at once.

Warrant for your Arrest? Contact our firm!

An arrest warrant is a document issued by the court which orders your arrest and detention after a grand jury indictment, or when there is compelling evidence that you have committed a crime. If you know that you are suspected of a serious criminal offense, how the problem of the arrest warrant is managed is an important matter, and we can help. In many cases the matter can be negotiated on your behalf so that you are released with bail or under your own recognizance. This is a dangerous scene, and it is strongly advised that you act quickly and contact our firm.

When an individual fails to appear for a sentencing or other court appearance, the judge can issue a "bench warrant", which is essentially an accusation of contempt of court based upon your failure to appear. In some cases there is an explanation as to why you did not appear at your court date, but when law enforcement stops you and arrests you, they are not going to pay any attention to your reasons why; you will just be put in jail, awaiting your hearing. As you are likely to be considered a risk after failing to appear, you may have trouble getting bail while the matter is addressed. Never allow a warrant situation to continue without getting the matter resolved with the help of a skilled attorney from our firm. We can negotiate the situation on your behalf and fight to help you avoid incarceration.
