Failure to Comply (Failure to Complete Terms)
What is Failure to Comply?
After a person has been convicted of a criminal offense, he/she may be sentenced with probation, fines, or community service. People who receive criminal sentencing are required to fulfill their court ordered obligations. When a person does fulfill his/her court ordered obligations, he/she can be charged with failure to comply (failure to complete terms). A person can be charged with failure to comply if he/she does not complete the duration of his/her community service, report for drug testing, or complete the terms of his/her probation. When a person fails to complete terms, an arrest warrant can be issued in his/her name.
An arrest warrant is an order that is issued by the court or a judge and it is similar to a bench warrant. The purpose of issuing an arrest warrant is to immediately arrest the individual listed on the warrant and to place them in jail. Once an arrest warrant is issued for a person, law enforcement has the right to immediately arrest the person when he/she is located.
Have You Failed to Comply?
If you have failed to complete terms, and/or if an arrest warrant has been issued for you, the best thing you can do is to retain the services of a skilled criminal defense attorney. Keep in mind that if you do not surrender yourself to law enforcement, they can find you and immediately arrest you on-sight. This can lead to very disruptive, stressful consequences for you and your family. By working with a criminal defense attorney, you may be able to avoid police custody altogether. An experienced lawyer can file your legal paperwork, negotiate with prosecutors, and defend you in court. Most importantly, a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney can protect your rights and your future well-being.
