Why Hire an Attorney to Clear Your Orange County Warrant?
Avoid Appearing Personally and Paying a Bail Bondsman
When an attorney appears on your behalf, the judge will see that you are serious about resolving your case. In most cases, any bail will be reduced or eliminated entirely and your attorney will be able to appear without you being personally present in court.
After Clearing the Warrant, get the Case Dismissed
Once the warrant is resolved, an attorney can use the law to find the most favorable outcome for your case. For example, if your case is old, Mr. Dicus will likely file a motion to have the charges against you dismissed because your constitutional right to a speedy trial has been violated. This is commonly referred to as a “Serna Motion.
Close your Case and Clean Your Criminal Record
Finally, once the warrant has been addressed, Mr. Dicus can assist you in cleaning up your criminal record. There are many remedies available and these include expungement and arrest record sealing.

FAQs
Can an attorney clear my warrant without me going to jail?
Often, yes. In many Orange County courts, an attorney can: 1) place your case on calendar, 2) appear on your behalf for certain misdemeanor warrants, 3) request the judge recall (clear) the warrant, 4) negotiate the underlying case. While no attorney can guarantee outcomes, having counsel dramatically reduces the chance of being taken into custody.
How long does it take to clear an old warrant in Orange County?
Orange County cases in warrant status can be added to the court's calendar any day that the court is open, as long as it is done before 10 am.

Working with Scott is the best value you'll ever get. He's not only excellent at his craft but also he runs his practice in a modern and savvy way. Most other lawyers are still old school with their paperwork and processes. Scott is different, above everyone else. He sets proper expectations and as long as you do what he asks, he'll deliver results.
I highly recommend Scott and will refer him when my friends are ever in need of his expertise.
