Q: What should I do if a warrant is issued for my arrest?

A: Contact an attorney immediately. It is often possible for an attorney to arrange a “walk through” procedure, where advance arrangements are made to allow the client to surrender himself and clear the warrant without having to spend time in jail. Whether a walk through can be arranged depends on several factors, including the nature of the charges and the client's eligibility for bond.

You should be aware that fleeing from the police or otherwise taking steps to obstruct execution of a warrant may constitute an additional criminal offense.
