Everytime I get arrested(which is quite often and matter of fact the last time was Wednesday...Just got out Thursday morning) I have my "First Apperance"(which is usually held inside the jail somewhere) the next day or two, which at First Apperance they give you the chance to bond out and sentence you. You don't get your 'real' court date(in the courthouse) until at least two weeks later, but sometimes it can take up to a month or more. It sounds like what happened to your friend is 1) He couldn't make bond 2) They didn't issue him a bond, which means he has to stay till his 'real court date' at that time they will either give him time served and let him out or give him probation or 3) He already went to court and has to do his time period

You have to file for an expungement--normally one year after your sentence is completed...be sure you or your attorney file for an expungement of the record and the arrest with all appropriate agencies in your state...you have to have a clean record from the date of the offense to the time of filing.

your talkin about a lot of different factors how much money is involved. some judges will give you a fine and community service if you have a really good lawyer plus good background reports will help. if it is serious your talkin about six months to 5 years depending on the money e.t.c sorry

Well it depends. Maybe 6 to 8 years. You could get out before then. It all depends on the jury. good luck!

You only have 1 preliminary hearing in which a trial is set with 20 days for court case, 10 days if it is a felony. Evidence at preliminary hearing is only presented once according to your law. You can appear for setting of trial date numerous times. In my county there is an average of 12-14 month delay for trial \n( continuances ).

Usually a "failure to appear" warrant will not result in jail time unless you have many prior failure to appears and they can show a pattern or if the failure to appear is on a serious felony crime or a crime in witch you are out on bail. Now either way it will be better for you to turn yourself in. However do not turn yourself in on a friday as this may result in sitting in jail until monday. Also I would call the court clerk and try to reschedule an appearance before I turned my self in to show that you did make an effort. Oh yea it is also bad if the appearance is for sentencing. They really frown on ditching accountability. In addition by turning yourself in you avoid all the hassle of having your car towed away and impounded if you are pulled over while drving. Don't panic! Especially if this is a minor offense. The courts and jails are so jammed up with truly bad people they have no time or room to lock people up for minor offenses. Even if it seems really bad to you. I assume that it is minor because you don't seem to have much experience dealing with the law. I personally have been pulled over with a valid warrant and the officer just cited and released me. However I have also seen people get hauled in friday night and have to wait til the offices open up Monday morning to be released with nothing more than a new court date. Anyways good luck and stay low until Monday.

1 hour to get a warrant but the police is not going to go straight and get him most likely they will wait untill he is pull over for a simple traffic ticket. Unless you know someone or the parole officer as a bone to pick with him. Good Luck.

Personal injury against an INSURANCE COMPANY?  Very odd.  Did they have you arrested falsely?  Or did they discriminate against you unjustly??  Personal injury suits can take 3-6 years to come to a conclusion.  Usually dismissals happen pretty quickly, though.

Call them from a pay phone.  The courthouse or police station/sheriff's office will advise you.  Also, if it's a misdemeanor, turn yourself in and get it over with.  Believe me, it's not worth looking over your shoulder for for so long.  Eventually they'll catch you anyways and then it'll be worse.

They have to read you your rights and tell you why you are being arrested. They cant stick you in a car and drive you to the station, then tell you.\n\nThey could loose a case against you

It's called Failure to Appear and the result is quite simply that a bench warrant is issued for you.  If it's a big city, chances are they won't come looking for you at your house, but if you get pulled over for any reason and they run your license, you'll be arrested on the spot and then things get much worse.  I missed my court date for littering in college (just forgot all about it) and they came to my dorm and arrested me.  They let me go once we got the jail and it was a smaller city, but they did come to me, so it's really hard to say.\n\nIf you missed your date, call them - get it taken care of.

You lose your money if they don't show up for court. New offense means new bail.

If your in a court that has a high conviction rate if it goes to jury trial and the state evidence against you is enough to prove it was you then I would get a lawyer and possible get a reduced charge to pled guilty to before I just plead Guilty. If you plead guilty and goto jail APPEAL right away they might stay the charges and you wont serve until you loose the APPEAL. Get a cheap lawyer who doesnt have alot of cases to defend that is familar with the court in which your being charged, they can talk to the judge and prosocution to try and work something out so you dont serve time.

Depending on the state, it could be a few weeks to months.  In NYC, it takes forever to evict someone.  In Arizona, it can be done in less than 21 days.  Check with your local court that handles forcible detainer cases.  They will have all the required dates and forms for those cases.

The longer you wait, the worse the penalties.  There is a warrant out for your arrest now, and that's not a good thing.  Do the time and get it over with - why have this hanging over your head?
