Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: 2 warrants in different county

He should probably be represented by counsel. He may want to turn himself into court rather than a police station.

Re: 2 warrants in different county

Your question does not really give all the information that would assist with the answer. However, your friend has a few options. He can go to a police station and simply turn himself in. He can call the public defender's and ask for assistance with matter and they may be willing to help him. He can call a private attorney and get some assistance. In the situation you have described he would be better off turning himself into the court rather than just walking into a police station. It would also help him to have an attorney help him get in touch with a bails bonds office so he can post bail and not have to stay in Jail. Good luck

Re: 2 warrants in different county

Best option would be to appear in court with counsel present. The longer he waits the more he risks that the penalties be increased. It is much much better to surrender voluntarily to court rather than waiting to be picked up by the police and brought in involuntarily. Assistance of good competent counsel could be critical in reducing potential sentence.

If your friend cannot afford private counsel he should contact the public defender's office as they should be able to assist him.

Feel free to contact me for further consultation if you are considering retaining private counsel.
