Will I be arrested if I missed my court date?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Michael Thomas Lynch (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Michael T. Lynch
I don't know if you will be arrested, no one does, but you can be arrested if they issued an arrest warrant when you did not appear. Typically, at least in this county, if you show good faith by making an appearance to clear the warrant, and show up with completed paperwork, the court might exercise its discretion and recall the warrant. It would depend on many other factors such as if you have failed to appear in the past, and / or your criminal history.

What can I do after using a lost credit card 15 hours ago in California?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
Where you work? That was pretty foolish, in addition to being a crime. If you can make this right with the card owner by contacting them, maybe through the credit card company, and repaying them, it might result in no criminal charges being filed. You likely will be fired or should resign though. If you are arrested, or if you want legal help in trying to fix this before that happens, feel free to contact me.

If your son was under 21 at the time he stands to lose his license for 1 year and could be facing some jail time, depending on the circumstances. At least a visit to a good lawyer for advice is recommended.
