Daytona Bench Warrant Lawyer

Have you missed a court appearance?

When you miss a court appearance, it is considered that you are in contempt of court, and the court will issue a bench warrant.  The warrant permits your immediate arrest, and can be issued in both civil and criminal cases.  Many times when a person is arrested on a bench warrant, they are kept in jail without bail.   If you are the subject of a bench warrant, contact a Daytona Beach criminal defense lawyer for qualified legal advice and representation.  You will need competent legal assistance from an experienced attorney when addressing this important matter.
