Warrant Lawyer Serving San Diego, Riverside & Orange County

San Diego Bench Warrant Attorney

A bench warrant is issued by a court or judge in order to authorize the immediate arrest of a particular individual, most often for a failure to appear in court. The failure to pay a court-ordered fine or attend court-ordered counseling, rehabilitation or community service may also result in the court issuing a bench warrant. No matter where you are or what you are doing, if there is a bench warrant out for your arrest you may be taken into custody by law enforcement at any time. A routine traffic stop may turn into a trip to jail, or you may be apprehended at your house or place of employment.

Fortunately, you can take action and confront your warrant head on. An experienced San Diego warrant attorney can go with you to court to face the judge. Although you are not required to have legal representation to address or challenge your warrant, trying to face this matter without an attorney can place you at a distinct disadvantage.

How a Lawyer Can Help

There are several different ways that a lawyer can assist you:

• A lawyer can work to have your warrant cancelled, therefore avoiding arrest altogether.
• A lawyer will know what documents and information are needed by the court to seek a swift resolution.
• A lawyer will be able to properly represent your interests and defend your rights.
• A lawyer can help negotiate a fair bail amount, or a release on your own recognizance (without bail.)

In becoming involved with this matter early on, an experienced lawyer can also help you face any subsequent criminal charges.
