San Jose Arrest Warrant Defense Lawyers

Being arrested is frightening, especially when there is no warning or preliminary investigation. Having a search warrant executed is equally scary. However, just because a judge signed a warrant does not mean that the police had probable cause. The most important thing to do after receiving a warrant is to obtain the assistance of an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.

Experienced Lawyers Who Can Help

At our San Jose and Gilroy law firm, Hinkle, Jachimowicz, Pointer & Emanuel, our attorneys help clients resolve issues with arrest, bench and search warrants. A conviction does not automatically follow from a warrant. With more than 25 years of criminal defense experience and a legal team that includes former police officers, we know how to help.

Search Warrants

Each client's situation is different, so we develop warrant defense strategies tailored to the circumstances of the arrest or search. Our lawyers can move to have a search warrant thrown out entirely, arguing that there was no probable cause, despite police assertions. If successful, this strategy means that any evidence collected during the search cannot be used in subsequent criminal proceedings.

Arrest Warrants

We can also help clients who receive arrest warrants in the mail or are arrested by police. In some instances, it will not be necessary to spend time in jail or post an expensive bond. When clients suspect that they may be on the receiving end of an arrest, it is important to take action even before the warrant arrives.

Bench Warrants

Bench warrants are issued when an individual has not fulfilled a court order such as an order to appear, pay a fine or complete community service. Our lawyers can get the case put back in the courtroom if we get involved before police make the arrest. Many of our clients fail to comply with court orders because they fear they will be arrested or did not understand the order. The best thing to do is call an attorney right after a missed court date or fine payment. It is much easier than paying a bail bondsman and spending a night in jail.
