Bench Warrant and Warrant Recall Representation in Orange County
Did you know that a judge can issue a warrant if you fail to appear in court for a required date? It's called a bench warrant. Having one issued in your name means law enforcement can take you into custody any time of the day or night.
Imagine...It is late on a Thursday afternoon, you are stopped by police for a broken tail light. When the officer checks your valid driver's license, he finds that you have a warrant for failure to appear in court. He will arrest you on the spot. You will NOT be entitled to bail. And, if the next day happens to be a court holiday - as many Fridays are - you will sit in Jail until as late as the following Wednesday before you can go to court and even hope to be released.
On the other hand...
A knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer can work to have a bench warrant recalled and keep you from spending time in jail.

When Can the Court Issue a Bench Warrant?
California judges can issue bench warrants for several reasons, including if you failed to:
- Appear in court after a judge ordered you to do so
- Show up in court after you received a citation in the mail or by a police officer
- Appear in court after your probation officer instructed you to do so
- Show up in court after you were released from jail on bail
- Failed to comply with a court order
- Did not pay a fine
