Contempt of court

In Arizona, the nature of the alleged crime and one’s prior record play pivotal roles in determining their bail status. Upon release on bail, it’s essential to understand that one’s liberty is not absolute. In line with ensuring public safety and your attendance at trial, the judge sets specific terms that you must adhere to. Every bail or bond condition is tailored to the nuances of an individual’s situation. Contact a criminal defense attorney at CHM Law today.

Having an outstanding warrant poses a constant threat of arrest, which can occur at inconvenient times and places, leading to public embarrassment or professional repercussions. Legal consequences typically worsen over time; what starts as a minor issue can escalate, resulting in higher fines or additional charges. Professionally, an outstanding warrant can jeopardize job opportunities, as it may show up in background checks, leading to potential employment rejection or termination. This situation can also restrict your ability to travel freely, particularly if airport security identifies the warrant, and can lead to driver's license suspension in cases related to traffic offenses.
