Re: domestic violence

You should hire an attorney and have him walk into the court with you to surrended yourself on the warrant. It would be better if your girlfried had already removed (vacated) the restraining order. However, either way, until you surrended yourself on the warrant, it will remain active and whenever they come across you they will arrest you. The longer it goes, the more likely that they will hold you either without bail or on a high bail. The sooner you suurender yourself, the better your chance to get personal & be released. Having an attorney also raises your chances since he can argue that you hired him because you plan on being in court to challenge the charges and that you turned yourself in voluntarily.

This is serious, and you can contact me a call tomorrow so that we can discuss. It is likely that the police have a warrant for your arrest. She can ask the court to vacate the restraining order, but as to the criminal matter, you need help.
