What can i do about a failure to appear warrant from a sopena?
Well, you do have some rights. You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney. You have the right to have your attorney present during questioning. You disobeyed a lawful order to appear in court. The case was not yours to do with as you wish. The case was the State of Nevada Versus your Ex. You can’t just decide to ignore the subpoena because you don’t want to deal with it anymore. The warrant will remain in effect and the charges against you will remain until you appear in court. It’s a criminal bench warrant so it will require a personal appearance in court. The sentence will depend on the judge. You are in contempt of court so he may throw you in jail a few days to teach you it’s wrong to disrespect his court in that manner. More likely you will be given probation and a fine and a nice little lecture on obeying the directions of the court.
