Probation / Violation of Probation / Probation Warrant / Arrest Warrant / What To Do When You Have A Warrant / AVVO / Michael A. Haber, Esq. **ARRESTED / **305DUI

Arrange for an in court surrender immediately.

Although no one can guarantee what the Court will do, if your proffer is accurate then the overwhelming odds are that the warrant will be quashed and your probation will be terminated.

What I can tell you with absolute certainty is that bottom line with warrants is that they suck (well that and that oftentimes they end up in untimely and inconvenient incarceration). When it comes to the subject of warrants, anyone anywhere who has knowledge of the existence of the warrant has 2 choices: Either they can deal with it proactively, in an offensive manner or they can live day to day, waiting until it is ultimately served, and then play catch-up (defense).

In this light warrants can be likened to cancer. If it exists (whether it is a warrant or cancer) then you have a problem. You can either choose to deal with the problem and hope for the best or you can wait for the problem to deal with you in its own natural fashion. In the former event it may or may not work out favorably for you, but, in the case of a warrant, at least the State and the Judge will have to acknowledge that you voluntarily chose to bring the matter to them (which is an undeniable fact that even an inexperienced lawyer should be able to use your advantage during the pendency of your case). In the later event, however, just as with cancer, the longer that you choose to wait (whether in denial, self-pity or simply because you are lost in hope, desperation and prayer that it’ll heal itself / go away) then more time that it has to metasticize and destroy you from within.

As I said, if you are being accurate then you will probably be just fine, but I do not “know” this to be true. If I were you I would discuss the matter immediately with an experienced Ocala area criminal defense lawyer. Right, wrong or indifferent that the warrant is a veritable cancer which will almost surely prejudice you, whether with the Court, the State or both, sometime down the legal pike.

I hope that I have been helpful in answering your question.
