Having an Attorney Matters for Recall Maryland Warrant.
Having an attorney. It has been our experience that clients have a better chance at getting warrants recalled when they are represented by attorneys and not trying to do it themselves. (“pro se”)
Certainly, you have the right to file a recall of your own warrant, but for whatever reason, many judges seem to feel more comfortable with recalling warrants for people who have attorneys. They know that if they invest in hiring an attorney, the client will likely not want to waste that investment and miss court in the future.
When consulting with an attorney in Maryland to recall your warrant, you also need to recognize that, for most cases, once you do so, your attorney will also represent you for the underlying charge. So if you missed court for a DUI and your Maryland attorney gets the warrant recalled because you missed court, that attorney is also going to be your DUI attorney. Consider this as you select your attorney.

Don’t Screw Up Professional Opportunities.
Finally, professional reasons. If you are applying for any kind of license or other activity that involves a background check, you do not want an active Maryland warrant. In our experience, this is not looked at favorably during such reviews.
Most of the time, people are asked to “take care of it” before the decision is made. We advise the client to clear up any outstanding warrants before making such an application. This can result in a much smoother process than if you have to explain it after whatever application is already submitted.
