Re: warrant
Based on the information in your message it is really impossible to say at this time what sentence he would receive. In addition to the original drug charge he now has a new charge for failing to appear in court. This could result in a taking back of the original probation offer and a new offer covering both cases being made. I would need to speak with your son to get more details about his case. You can ask him to contact me at his convenience. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

Re: warrant
Your son is subject to a detainer. Many more facts are needed to answer your questions like what was he charged with and does he have any prior record and in what court are the charges.
Because your son is the one with a legal problem he should immediately consult with counsel and be prepared to present any paperwork and answer these and other questions.
If you care to arange for a consultation with an attorney from this firm [preferably with your son present] please call during our regular business hours.
Re: warrant
depends on numerous issues. His deal could be off the table and they could charge him with bail jumping. I was in court today and they had nothing but people with bail jumping charges.
I suggest he get an attorney ASAP.
Re: warrant
A warrant means a failure to appear. The question is what did he fail to
appear for. If he as offered probation it might still be possible depending on a number of factors including the reason for the issuance of a warrant. I need more information.
Call me if you like.
