Lindsay Lohan and Los Angeles Arrest Warrants

Posted on: May 20, 2010 at 5:58 p.m.

When a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney represents someone who has an Arrest Warrant issued by the court, it can be a sticky situation. Sometimes the Los Angeles Arrest Warrant is due to some major felony, other times it is due to a past crime that may have been a miner felony. Either way, it means that the person could face jail time for lack of compliance with some court order.

Lindsay Lohan, a.k.a. "Lilo" - the young actress who has a long history of legal challenges and a troubled past, has a Los Angeles Arrest Warrant issued in her name. A judge in L.A. revoked the actress’ probation and issued the bench warrant after she failed to appear in court. Supposedly the actress lost her passport while overseas and has been unable to return to the United States for the legal proceeding. However, according to French authorities, she did not report her "stolen" passport to them contradicting what LiLo's criminal defense lawyer said during the hearing. The warrant stems from a DUI conviction in 2007. She will be fitted with a bracelet to detect if she has been drinking, which she is not allowed to do until she shows up for her hearing.

A Los Angeles Arrest Warrant is a court order that is issued after someone fails to appear in court. Law enforcement is allowed to detain the person based upon this court order in order to get that individual to appear in court, as per the judge’s orders. Having a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney in such a situation is absolutely vital, because otherwise the individual is at the mercy of the court, which could create serious problems. A warrant can lead to enhanced legal punishments, such as jail time, fines and probation.

I also agree, Lohen should be held accountable for her felony charges. However, I do believe a good a lawyer’s ability to speak from their heartzone may convey to the jury Lohen’s chaotic upbringing. Lohen’s defense attorney speaking out about her parent’s public divorce, father’s abusive nature, and other psychological damaging issues could be the deciding factor jurors need in order to relate to the misunderstood actress. Defense attorneys are able to make compelling arguments allowing jurors to realize in this case that for the young troubled starlet it is in her best interest to seek counseling through rehabilitation.

She should be held accountable for her acts. It's not the first time she is facing these kinds of trouble. I am positive she will get off the hook because she is a celebrity. It seems like her social status has make her not to take the law seriously and instead go to France for the Cannes Film Festival. She should be treated like any other citizen. Probably jail will be a better solution than rehab

In terms of a jail sentencing, she will probably be assigned to serve more than 6 months in prison if convicted of failing to comply by the terms. The judge has other options, including sending her to a rehab facility instead, but from Revel’s decisions and attitude so far, I predict that he will find the harsher option more appropriate.

Judge Revel’s strict decisions are refreshing because so many people with celebrity status get off the hook for alcohol related accidents and drug related schemas, simply because they have the money to do so. Her voluntary decision to attend the Cannes Film Festival rather than attend her mandatory classes is

Lilo should certainly be held to the same legal repercussions as any ordinary citizen would be in such a case. She was put on a three year probation that included an 18-month alcohol education program for drunk driving, She didn’t comply with these terms and when asked why she had missed the most recent class, her attorney argued that it fell on the same day as her uncle’s funeral. When asked, though, whether Lohan had attended the procession, it was admitted that she had not. I have seen Lilo
