Most Precinct 1 misdemeanor class “C” warrants are filed out of the Justice of the Peace Courts as a result of unpaid traffic citations. Warrants for offenses classified as a Class B or higher offense are processed by the Central Magistrate Office or the Criminal Warrant

Warrants Issued after a Failure to Appear in Court

If you failed to appear in court for a scheduled court date and the court issued a warrant for your arrest, then contact an experienced criminal defense attorney at Flanary Law Firm, PLLC. If you were charged with a criminal offense and properly given notice that you were
required to appear in court but you intentionally failed to appear as required, then the court can issue a warrant for your arrest.

While the warrant is outstanding for the failure to appear in court, you are considered to be a fugitive from justice. After the warrant is issued, contact an experienced criminal defense attorney about how to get the warrant withdrawn or otherwise resolved. Your attorney can raise certain defenses that might apply in your case.

Those defenses center around showing that there were uncontrollable circumstances that prevented the person from appearing in court. For the best result, you should retain the attorney as soon as possible so that the issue can be resolved right after the uncontrollable
circumstances ceased to exist.
