When You Need a Gladiator to Defend and Protect

BENCH WARRANTS

Frederic Warner bench warrants
Failing to appear in court or a failure to obey a court order (violations of probation) generates a Warrant for your Arrest. The Bench Warrant is issued by the Judge and gives Law Enforcement the right to “arrest” you at any time of day or night and bring you before the court.

Being in contempt of court is considered the willful disregard for the court order. Some examples of being in contempt of court could be failing to show up for jury duty, your appointed court date or ignoring a subpoena to testify in a case. Therefore, you should do everything in your power to make sure you arrive at court on your appointed date and time and appear before the judge for your proceedings.

The Law Office of Frederic J. Warner advises our clients to take care of these warrants as soon as possible in an effort to avoid being arrested at will. The Law Office of Frederic J. Warner aggressively works on clearing up these warrants, sometimes before a client even appears in court. Most judges and prosecutors appreciate our clients voluntarily coming into court through the “front door” making a “good faith” effort to correct this situation regardless of how long it has been since the warrant or failure to appear was issued.

At the Law Office of Frederic J. Warner, we understand that court proceedings can be intimidating and confusing. We also understand that there are many reasons and misunderstanding that have lead you to miss a court date. If a bench warrant has been issued against you, it is important to have a top criminal defense lawyer on your side to make sure you achieve the best outcome possible in your case. Penalties for being in contempt of court can be severe and it is our job to convince the court to reduce these penalties against you, or have them dismissed.

Given the complexity of criminal defense and bench warrants, it is vital that you chose a qualified attorney who combines experience with a good track record, a thorough understanding and familiarity with the law and the local courts, and a commitment to each and every client.

The Law Office of Fred Warner offers aggressive representation with a personal touch. We are accustomed to take on the criminal justice system and achieve the best results for you.
