Understanding the warrant process

An arrest warrant is an order issued by a judge directing law enforcement officers to arrest a person charged with a crime. Warrants are typically issued under two circumstances:

• Bench warrant — As the name implies, the judge issues the warrant from the bench — meaning while court is in session. Bench warrants are commonly issued when a person fails to appear in court when summoned. If you did not receive proper notice of your court date or there was an emergency that prevented you from showing up, we notify the court of the problem. Even if you simply forgot, our lawyers request that your bench warrant be set aside and that you be given a second chance to appear.
• Arrest warrant based on probable cause — When an arrest warrant is founded on probable cause, it means a law enforcement officer has presented evidence that it is reasonably likely that a crime was committed and that you committed it. In many case, there’s nothing to support the warrant but a police officer’s sworn statement.

Proactive steps can often mitigate the consequences of a warrant with your name on it.
