Bench Warrant Attorney in Salt Lake City

Need help defending against your bench warrant?

A bench warrant is issued under a variety of circumstances.  It could be related to a large number of unpaid traffic tickets and a failure to appear in front of a judge.  If you did not receive the notice to appear or even didn't realize that you were required to appear at court in front of the judge, when you do not show, they almost always automatically issue a bench warrant with your name on it. 

After that point, any time you are stopped by law enforcement in a traffic stop or for some minor matter, when they run your name on their computer it will show and you will be arrested and taken to jail.  This is an extremely embarrassing and humiliating situation, as well as being very dangerous.  Once you are in jail, you will have to attend a hearing related to the contempt of court.  Never proceed in such a situation without first contacting a Salt Lake City criminal defense attorney from our law firm.
