Following a failure to appear for a court date, a Judge might issue a warrant for your arrest. Because of the nature of such warrants, you may be unaware that an arrest might occur, which could be just as frightening as facing any consequences you may have been initially charged with. In this kind of situation, there are different options a judge may choose depending on the nature of the underlying offense. For example, if an individual was released on bail following a Felony charge, they may face greater consequences and more significant pursuit than someone released after a Misdemeanor charge.
