I apologize for that huge explanation. Just scared an confused. Basically have two warrants from two different courts. The first was on a a larceny charge which failed to pay attorney fee which i was not aware had to pay. Thats prob why theres a warrant for a case that was dismissed. The second is failure to appear in a traffic violation (driving uninsured). Which court do i go to first? Please explain what happens in these situations? Can it be takwn care of all in one day? For the record have never been in trouble before this. Thank you
Warrant Questions
Both Courts you appear will be concerned with both your failure to appear at the last court date as well as the liklihood you will appear in the future. The Court could impose a cash bail to ensure your return to court along with a default removal fee to redress the past default. If you cannot post the cash bail, the court will take you into custody untill you are able to do so. As to the uninsured charge, you should bring a copy of proof you re-insured the car to court with you. As to the larceny charge, if it is simply a case of you failing to pay an attorney fee the court may allow you to pay the fee and the case will be dismissed, however, it is impossible to predict the results without knowing all the facts. There is a possiblity you could be held in jail on a cash bail larger than you are able to post. Your best bet is to sit down with an attorney and consider hiring him or her to help you remove the defaults. If you walk into court with a lawyer, the judge will understand you now take the case seriously and want to see it resolved.
