Los Angeles Bench Warrant Lawyers 
Bench Warrants
When you fail to appear at a scheduled court date, or violate the terms of your probation you are in the position in which you could expect a bench warrant to be issued with your name on it. This situation is extremely dangerous, and if you are picked up, you will be put directly into jail awaiting a hearing, and the likelihood of being let out is greatly diminished as you will be considered a flight risk. You will be facing additional penalties for failing to appear and if the bench warrant is related to a probation matter, you could expect certain judges to impose the full jail or prison sentence you avoided by being put on probation.

Once you are arrested the situation can become more difficult to resolve.

In some cases the warrant is an error, as you may not have received the notice to appear due to a move or other problem. The court sends notices to the address they have on file; if you have changed addresses, you could be in trouble.
