Arrest and Bench Warrants

NJ Arrest Warrant Lawyer

A bench warrant is a warrant for your arrest that has been issued because you failed to perform a legal obligation like paying ticket, paying a fine, or failing to appear in court. If a bench warrant has been issued for you, when the police find you, you will be arrested. At The Law Offices of Anthony N. Palumbo, I can seek a voluntary arrangement so that you can appear in court and resolve the issue without being arrested. I recently had a client who unknowingly had a bench warrant out for his arrest since 1997. I was able to resolve his charge without an arrest so that he could easily and quickly move forward with his life.

New Jersey Bench Warrant

A bench warrant is issued when a person fails to complete a legal obligation. When a bench warrant is issued, police are required to arrest the individual named in the warrant and bring them before the court to answer for what they’ve failed to do. The following is a list of reasons why a bench warrant may be issued:

• You failed to make a scheduled appearance in court i.e. sentencing.
• You failed to pay a fine i.e. custody or support payments.
• You violated a court order i.e. failing to perform community service when required.

If you have a bench warrant issued on your behalf, I can seek a voluntary arrangement which will allow you to appear in court and resolve the situation without being arrested. It is important to note that if you do have a bench warrant out on your behalf and you appear in court, speak to the police, or consult authorities without consulting an attorney of your own, you can easily be arrested. There is no reason to subject yourself to this type of trouble or embarrassment when you can contact me for free at 908-272-9700 with no obligation.
