Q: Will the judge lift my warrant if my attorney is there or would I go to jail?
I recently got a warrant for failure to appear and its remained without bond. My court appointed attorney assigned me a new court date & told me to go in with them to see if the judge can uplift my warrant.. is there a possibility that the judge will uplift the warrant or will I be sent directly to jail ?
A: This is a question other lawyers would probably do well not to answer. This is the kind of question to ask your attorney. He will likely be able to give you the most knowledgeable answer, even if it is that he doesn't know. No lawyer can predict what a judge will or won't do in any given situation, but maybe he can advise you about the judge's tendencies in such situations. Trust in your lawyer and good luck.
