The idea behind southerncaliforniawarrants.com is that you can call me and get a warrant cleared ASAP, not have to go to Court and get additional advice I may be able to provide you about your situation.
Yesterday was a good example- the client needed a recent DUI warrant cleared in Riverside for a job background check. It wasn’t that complicated, but it involves getting to the Riverside Hall of Justice at 7:30 AM in the morning, and then wading through a crowd of over one hundred defendants for the particular department where you have to clear the warrant.
It’s important to understand that in the context of most warrants, attorneys are treated as first class citizens, and people using the public defender or representing themselves are treated like garbage. Much of what I do isn’t hard… for a lawyer, but trying to imagine a client doing the same thing…is unpleasant.
For example, in Riverside I was in and out before 9:30 AM, whereas the people without lawyers were being told that it was “unlikely” that everyone would be done before lunch. Some people were being told they didn’t qualify for a public defender because they earned too much money!
Riverside is another county that technically requires a notarized document to allow an attorney to appear for a criminal defendant the first time. If you hire a lawyer to appear for you on a warrant in Riverside, make sure they know about that requirement!
