Maryland Failure to Appear in Court

 Warrant for your Arrest for Failure to Appear?

If you skip a court date in Maryland, the judge will issue a bench warrant for your arrest. Failure to appear is a criminal charge that can have severe consequences.

Whether you have an outstanding warrant from years ago, or just missed a court date last week, you need to deal with this right away. If you are picked up and arrested, whatever reasonable explanations you may have for not appearing in court may not matter.

But I can help. If you deal with it proactively, an experienced lawyer may be able to fix the situation before you are faced with serious criminal penalties. We can work out favorable terms to recall the warrant, before you are arrested. Call me and we'll talk about your case, what happened, and I'll let you know what I can do to help.

Also, if you simply fail to pay a Maryland traffic ticket with 15 days, you are automatically assigned a trial date. If you fail to appear at the trial date, or aren't notified of the date because you have moved, the MVA can suspend your license. And driving on a suspended license is a criminal charge.

So don't delay, call me now to get your situation resolved before it gets out of hand, so you can sleep at night. My consultation is free. (301) 637-0107

Old Outstanding Warrants in Maryland?

Old criminal warrants that are years or even decades old can come back to haunt you at the most inconvenient times. As criminal law enforcement databases are increasingly connected and shared between police departments nationwide, a Maryland warrant could show up on a simple traffic stop anywhere in the country. You may live out of state in Florida or anywhere else, but that warrant can get you immediately arrested and cause serious legal problems if you don't deal with it.

You could be arrested even without committing a traffic violation. New license plate scanning and security technologies are linking together warrant information in new ways everyday. You could be simply driving down the road, be scanned by a video camera, your license plate routinely searched, and linked with your name, which connects to an out of state warrant for your arrest. The police officer is instantly alerted inside his cruiser as you drive by, and he pulls you over on the warrant. This can and does happen everyday.

But I can help you put this problem to bed. If you live out of state, I may even be able to get the situations resolved and warrant dropped without you needed to appear in a Maryland court. With old cases, evidence and records may be lost, and witnesses may have disappeared or moved away. If they can't prove the case against you, then the warrant should be recalled and cleared.

Call me right away to find out what I can do to finally put a nagging legal problem out of your head, so you can move on with your life. (301) 637-0107
