Orange County Bench Warrants Attorney
When an individual fails to appear in court, a judge will issue a bench warrant to arrest and detain that individual. Bench warrants become effective immediately, and individuals arrested on a bench warrant are subject to remain in county jail until bail is posted.
A judge can issue a bench warrant for variety of reasons including:
- Failure to appear in court on a scheduled date for pending legal action (i.e. arraignments, citations, sentencing, etc.)
- Failure to pay a fine
- Failure to pay a court-mandated child support
- Failure to complete a court-ordered sentence (i.e. community service, rehabilitation, etc.)
- Failure to appear in court after being released from custody
In addition to a bench warrant issued in your name, failure to appear in court can also result in additional penalties such as driver’s license suspension, detainment, and the denial of bail for other legal issues.
