About Warrants and Warrant Hearings in Georgia

Arrest Warrant - An arrest warrant is a document which is issued by a magistrate or judge which allows law enforcement agents to arrest a person, based on evidence that a crime has taken place and the individual has committed the crime. Georgia Code 17-4-44 states that "A warrant for arrest may be issued in any county, though the crime was committed in another county. A warrant, once issued, may be executed in any county without being backed or endorsed by a judicial officer in the county where the warrant is executed."

If you have become aware that there is a warrant out for your immediate arrest, the wrong thing to do is to try to run or hide to avoid arrest. In fact, we recommend that you contact a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible in order to address the matter immediately.

Warrant Application Hearing - According to Georgia Code 14-4-40 (5) "At the warrant application hearing, a determination shall be made whether or not probable cause exists for the issuance of a warrant for the arrest of the person whose arrest is sought. If the judge or other officer finds that probable cause exists, the warrant may issue instanter."

Having skilled legal representation to deal with your warrant or represent your interests at your warrant application hearing can make a significant impact in whether you eventually face criminal charges and how strong the prosecution's case against you may be. Be sure you take every chance to fight your criminal charges and avoid a conviction by consulting an Atlanta warrant defense lawyer.
