What You Need to Know About Bench Warrants

A bench warrant is a warrant for someone's arrest issued by a judge -- from "the bench of the court." They're usually issued when someone fails to appear in court after promising to do so, or when someone fails to pay a fine. The warrant authorizes law enforcement officers to arrest the individual on sight. A bench warrant can be issued by the judge for your failure to appear on any type of criminal matter. The amount of the bail will be set by the judge and can range from as little as $2500 to as high as 1 Million dollars depending upon the nature of the crime involved.

Once a bench warrant is issued, it goes into a nationwide computer database run by the federal Department of Justice. If you have a bench warrant for your arrest and a law enforcement officer runs a check on your I.D. for any reason, he or she will find the warrant and must arrest you. You will then be brought before a judge on the charges that caused the warrant. A bench warrant will also cause the DMV to suspend your driver's license. You won't be able to clear the suspension until the warrant is recalled .

If your bench warrant is for a misdemeanor charge, one of our California Bench Warrant Attorneys at Wallin & Klarich may be able to keep you from being taken into custody by appearing before the judge without you (with your permission). The judge may recall your warrant and that will mean you would save thousands of dollars in bail bonds fees. We would then continue to go to court on your behalf until the matter is concluded satisfactorily. If your warrant is for a felony charge, the court may require you to be present in court before the warrant is recalled. Often clients hire us from all over the United States to try to have their warrants recalled. In most of those occasions we are able to have our clients warrant recalled without the client having to return to California (if they live out of state).
