Q: How to clear warrant for not finishing community service. Grandson went to Recovery America for substance abuse.
Grandson arrested for Tagging in Brighton MA. Sentanced to 18m or Community Service. He was strung out on drugs we sent him to Recovery America for help. They sent him to Calif. He is two years sober and wants to clear things and get new start. He is still in Calif. What can we do?
A:
Hello,
First let me command him for getting sober and maintaining it. In order to remove a default warrant, he would need to physically be here and go to court to remove it. If he's able to show that he attended a program and is maintaining his sobriety, it is unlikely that the court will hold him in custody for not showing up to court.
All the best,
Ismail Mohammed, Esq.
