Having an Attorney Matters!

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 to recall your own warrant but for whatever reason many judges seem to feel more comfortable with recalling warrants for people who have attorneys. They know if they invest in hiring an attorney that 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 once you do that, for most cases, your attorney will be your attorney for the underling 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. You should think about this as you selected your attorney.
