What should I do if there is a warrant for my arrest for using a credit card?

Riana A. Durrett
Answered by attorney Riana A. Durrett (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Reza Athari & Associates, PLLC
This is a very tricky area for any attorney to even discuss because the someone with a warrant can face jail time if they turn themselves in, but typically face even more jail time if they don't. You should consult an attorney as soon as possible.

Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen

Tell a teacher or the cops and he gets arrested. Doesn't really sound like a friend to me. But if he's a friend, maybe talk to him.

I got fired for fraud returns for myself and others. I was called in to write a statement with no police around. I was told I would receieve a letter

Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
It is best for you to consult with a lawyer as quickly as possible. Your statement can be used against you if you admitted to any wrongdoing and you should not talk to anyone without representation. When you say you were accused of filing fraudulent returns for yourself and others I assume you mean tax returns. If so, this is potentially a federal crime and very serious with prison a distinct possibility. Contact me if you have any questions.
