Q: I have 4 warrants can an attorney out me on calender so i don't have to go do it.myself and risk being arrested
A:
more info needed.
what are warrants for? how old are they? what is your record? what court? what judge? is DA contesting it?
judges want a defendant in court on some case though the law allows an attorney under 977 of the Penal Code to appear for a client on a MISDEMEANOR.
make an appt with a private lawyer asap.
A: If they are misdemeanor warrants, then a lawyer can appear for you.
A: I advise contacting a local criminal defense lawyer or Public Defender AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. A lawyer can contact the court to arrange to appear for an arraignment rather than surrendering to police custody, calendar a hearing on a warrant prior to arrest, arrange to have you turn yourself in rather than being arrested or determine the amount of outsidance bond.
