Grand Rapids Bench Warrant Attorney

Dealing with a bench warrant in the Grand Rapids area?

It all began so innocently. A traffic ticket or fine slipped by you unpaid and a court date was set.  You might have even taken care of the fines, thinking your court date a moot point.  Or, perhaps you received a subpoena to appear in court and the date slipped your mind or you decided not to attend to the matter.  The right answer is never to ignore the court.  Now, possibly even unbeknownst to you, a judge has issued a bench warrant for your arrest.  If you have missed a court date or failed to pay a fine, or are facing a bench warrant, you can contact a Grand Rapids criminal defense attorney for guidance in resolving the matter.

Although police may not actively seek your detainment, this can lead to an embarrassing situation if you come across law enforcement, say, in a routine traffic stop.  A search of their police database with your driver's license can turn a speeding stop into a trip to jail, even years after a bench warrant was issued.  You can end up with a frightening stay in jail, being required to post a bond of thousands of dollars.  If bond cannot be posted, you could spend days in jail before being seen by a judge.  What would have most likely been a matter involving minimal punishment had you appeared in court now can carry much stronger repercussions.
