Q: got a warrant from a county over 200 miles away.
im 19 and im afraid it has to deal with a girl i had online problems with a while ago. I have not contacted her physically in anyway except for online. I believe I was speaking nonsense and that might have got me in trouble. I do not have time to go to davis. Can i call as listed on their card? To find out what it is about without being questioned? I am in college and I have no money for a lawyer. I am scared shitless. I do not wanna go to jail.
A: Call a criminal defense attorney and get a free consultation. That will tell you what you are looking at in terms of the risk of being arrested, the potential penalties and the potential cost of an attorney. Attorney's differ in the fees they charge, so maybe call more than one, and start with someone in Davis.
A: You should be able to onto the court's website and retrieve basic information about the case but you will eventually have to make a court appearance if the case has been filed as a felony. If it's filled as a Misdemeanor a lawyer can make the initial appearance on your behalf.
