No. Most likely the first you will learn is when you are arrested. They don't normally give you warning and a head start so you can run away. If you think charges have been filed against you, and if you are serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. An attorney can learn from the DA if charges have been filed or not.

Not usually. People who know a warrant has been issued for them will often try to hide from the authorities. Sending out notices would make those folks harder to find, which would defeat the purpose of the warrant.

Probably not. Some counties will provide some general information online. However, it is generally best to hire an attorney and let the attorney find out if a warrant has been issued for your arrest.

If you'd like to contact our office you can contact us through our web site at www.brianmcginitylaw.com .

We can find out for you and let you know what your facing.

Good luck

Some agencies will send a courtesy letter to let you know that a warrant is/will be issued, but don't count on it.
