About
What stopmyarrest.com is — and isn't
A free, plain-language guide to one hard moment: you think you may have a warrant, and you want to resolve it and turn yourself in on your own terms instead of being caught off guard. Nothing more, nothing sold.
What this is
A state-by-state reference for resolving a warrant. Each page gives the ordered steps, what to bring, what to expect, and how release works where you are — then links you to the court and sheriff who can actually act on it.
How we research it
Every page is built from official government sources — state judiciary sites, county sheriff and clerk pages, state police tools — plus public legal references for how each state's bail or release system works. Each page carries a “last verified” date.
What we don't do
We are not a law firm and this is not legal advice. We never predict outcomes, never tell you a case will go a certain way, and never name, rank, or recommend an attorney. We cannot resolve a warrant for you — only the issuing court can.
On bail, state by state
Bail is not the same everywhere. Several states have no commercial bail bondsmen at all; a few have abolished money bail entirely. We show each state's real release mechanism rather than assuming one, so the guidance fits where you are.
Accuracy, and the limits we won't hide
This is “your money or your life” information, so we would rather be careful than impressive. We describe general procedures only. Courts, jails, and sheriffs each set their own local rules for surrender hours, recalling a warrant, and release, and those rules change — so every state page tells you to call ahead and confirm before you go.
The one authority on a warrant is the court that issued it. Treat everything here as a starting point and a way to prepare, and confirm anything that matters directly with that court. If you decide how to handle a warrant, that decision is yours.
Found something out of date or wrong? Because accuracy is the whole point, corrections take priority over everything else on the site.
