Recalling Your Bench Warrant

In some cases, a criminal defense attorney may be able to recall the bench warrant (remove it from the system) without you being present if your case is a misdemeanor and the warrant isn’t too old. With a misdemeanor, you may avoid bail altogether. With a felony, the judge may request bail or the defendant may be taken into custody. In either case, you’ll improve your chances of having the bench warrant recalled by returning to court voluntarily, with an experienced criminal defense attorney by your side.

A Bench Warrant is an Immediate Arrest Order

A Bench Warrant is issued to an individual for failing to appear in court at a required date and time, or failing to pay a fine. This person is in contempt of court, and the bench warrant authorizes law enforcement to bring him/her to court. This is different from an Arrest Warrant, which is typically issued after a Grand Jury indictment (criminal charge) or when someone is suspected of a crime based on probable cause. California Bench Warrant Law (Under the California Code of Civil Procedure) says a judge may issue a bench warrant if you fail to appear in court when required by law.
