Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

Re: civil bench warrant

An attorney may appear for you on a misdemeanor. An attorney will reduce bail on a felony, and you will be given a discount by bailbondsmen. Contact me directly.

Re: civil bench warrant

"CIVIL" bench warrant?

If you actually mean 'civil', that implies it is for a contempt of court charge, failure to appear as a witness, or something like that in a lawsuit proceeding. You'd have to appear [with your attorney if you're smart] before the judge and try to get the court to withdraw the warrant, pay a fine, or otherwise negotiate a 'deal' to avoid jail.

If you mean an arrest warrant in a criminal case, which is where virtually all warrants are issued, you'd appear [with your attorney if you're smart] and try to get the court to withdraw the warrant and let you stay out on reduced bail or O.R. during the pre-trial process.

Wither way, feel free to contact me if you're serious about getting that legal help, if the case is in SoCAL.

Yes. Just contact court. Usually involves getting matter back on calendar.
