I was charged with assault in 2018 i missed the court dates because i was scared it was my first criminal offence. The assault wasn't true i didn't do anything wrong. Now i have warrants. I want to turn my self in and get my name cleared.
I agree that your best bet is to contact an attorney who can get the case in front of the prosecutor and judge and possibly keep you out of jail.
You have several options here. One, you just bite the bullet, turn yourself in, and wait to get arraigned. That means you get processed at jail and get arraigned by video, and bond set. However, the most prudent decision is to hire an attorney, and have the attorney contact the prosecutor and court, and get the warrant quashed in exchange for turning yourself in after the COVID-19 emergency has passed. Courts do not want people coming into court right now, if it is not necessary, and jails want people to stay out if able. So there is a shot at keeping you out of jail, and getting this handled later. BUT, you need to get on this now, and hire an attorney. Don't know what county your charge is in, but best bet is to find an attorney in the county where you are charged. Local attorneys have good relationships (if they are good attorneys) with the local prosecutors. So get on it. Start calling attorneys.
Agree. Hire an attorney immediately and that attorney can review your case status, assist with getting the warrant served, review case for evidence, discuss with prosecutors, etc. Not going to be good for you being a fugitive for the rest of your life.
You have likely now been charged with failure to appear and may remain in jail without a bond until a court date. You should consult with a criminal defense attorney before turning yourself in. Perhaps he or she can negotiate a plea agreement as to the failure to appear and see if the assault can be dismissed prior to turning yourself in. In any case, please hire a local defense attorney to help you.
Hi,
I am an 19 year old sophomore at Florida State University majoring in Pre-Nursing.
Sometime in Late 2010 I took a road trip to Atlanta to visit someone who i met offline, just a weekend thing. I took a friend along with me for safety so don't think I'm crazy. Anyway, the guy who i met offline said we would be staying at the Four Seasons. Long story short, I arrived before he did (he lives in Atlanta already). Impatient, and not too enthused about waiting i kindly asked the clerk what was the age requirement at this Hotel. he stated: "21". Therefore, i knew not to even attempt to check in. So i called the guy who i met offline and he said he would just call in and add my name to the reservation. Skipping ahead, he did that and they allowed me to check in. *fast forwarding* the guy turned out to be an ASSHOLE and i left, along with my friend. Months later, i begin receiving letters and phone calls from United Fidelity stating that I owe the Four Seasons $1,329.00 . Mind you, i was away at college and these letters where going to my home address which is on my License so the one i read was like a FINAL NOTICE saying that if i didn't reply in 10 days it would be sent to Experian. So I contacted United Fidelity. No answer, i kept at this for a week straight, and left voicemails. I figured, Hmm� this must be fraud.. so i forgot about it. Some days later i received a return call from someone at United Fidelity. He then begin to tell me that the guy never checked in and my id is the only name on file so im responsible for payment. I then asked: "How am i not old enough to get a room but im old enough to be responsible to pay for one?" he went on to further conclude that its my responsibility to pay and if i didn't it would go on my credit. Your probably wondering why i don't just refer him to the asshole who seems to have set me up� well i don't know his full name,and his number has changed. Great right!? So anyway, I tell this guy from United Fidelity, im a college student working towards being able to have $1,329.00 but not for some shit that i honestly don't feel like is my responsibility. so basically do what you have to do� i don't have the money goodbye! �. i then get a phone call a month later he leaves a voicemail stating that the credit card that was used to book the room came back as stolen! ** I never presented any credit cards ** so now im getting letters saying if don't respond with payment� litigation will take place. These letters are really stressing me out and scaring me, im only 19 years old and im in college i don't have that kind of money. Honestly i would pay it if i had it but i don't. but in the same respect i don't feel like its my responsibility i feel like the hotel made a mistake and they're just trying to get there money back. shouldn't they have required some sort of credit card authentication since supposedly he never went to the counter? my biggest question is should i be worried? Im not a criminal, i don't do fraud, and i want these scary letters to stop! my mom is a detective and she said that if i send one cents then it automatically becomes my responsibility to pay so not to. please if your an Attorney give me advice.
