How to Get Out of an Arrest Warrant
- 1). Find out why the arrest warrant was issued. You can do this by contacting the county clerk's office in the city or county in which a judge signed the warrant. The most common reason a warrant is issued is a failure to appear for a court hearing over a small infraction like a traffic ticket. These warrants are issued to ensure that a person shows up for a subsequent hearing and do not necessarily mean you will be going to jail.
- 2). Contact an attorney immediately. An arrest warrant is serious and you need competent legal help. Be sure to give your attorney all relevant information about what caused the arrest warrant to be issued. It is vital that you are honest with your attorney. Lawyers are required to keep their clients' information completely confidential and will be better-equipped to defend you if they know everything.
- 3). Turn yourself in. Hiding from the police only makes it more likely that, when you are arrested, it will be an unpleasant experience. Be sure to coordinate with your attorney so she knows when you are turning yourself in and is prepared to help you.
