A criminal arrest warrant is a court order issued to law enforcement requiring the arrest of a person who is wanted by the court. Sometimes police may go to the last known address of a person with a warrant in an attempt to find him. If law enforcement comes upon a person who has a warrant out for them, they will usually be immediately arrested and incarcerated until they come before the court that issued the warrant. An attorney can help with getting a warrant recalled or quashed. A local Lawyer may be able to go to Court for the person with the warrant.

An Arrest Warrant is issued for a variety of reasons but the most common reason is when the client fails to appear at a court date (FTA); this can be a failure to appear at the initial court date or failure to appear farther into the case. Other reasons for a warrant to issue include failing to report to a probation officer, failure to complete a court ordered program, failure to pay fines and failure to follow other court requirements.

On occasion a warrant will be issued by the court at the request of the District Attorney without advising the client. This usually occurs after the Prosecutor has completed an investigation and has decided that the client needs to be taken into custody right away either because the crime is serious or there is a concern that the client may leave the area. For many cases however, the client is sent a letter and told to appear at a certain date, time and place. Failure to appear at the time indicated on the letter can cause a warrant to issue. Most clients are issued tickets and told to appear in court on a certain date.

Another type of warrant is one that is issued by a Judge to conduct a search of a residence.  This legal document is called a search warrant and allows law enforcement to enter a home legally to seize property and potential evidence.  The homeowner must be given a receipt for any property taken.

If you have a warrant out for your arrest or have been the subject of a search warrant you should contact Attorney Matthew J. Ruff immediately to get advice. On some warrants Attorney Ruff may be able to appear in Court without you being present. It is also a good idea to have an attorney with you on a felony warrant as well since in certain circumstances he may be able to get you released without bail and with a new date to appear.

Mr. Ruff has represented many clients in warrant matters he can help get the warrant recalled and help you move on with your life. In many cases old bench warrants and arrest warrants can be recalled without the client's appearance, saving the person travel to the Court.
