Las Vegas Bench Warrant Attorneys
Criminal Defense Lawyers Serving Las Vegas, Nevada
The court may issue a bench warrant for an individual’s failure to show up in court for a scheduled appearance. These types of warrants are also issued when a person fails to pay a court-ordered fine, attend counseling, perform community service or pay restitution. If a bench warrant is issued in your name, law enforcement has the authority to make an arrest anytime, anywhere. You may not even be aware that there is a warrant out for your arrest and may be surprised at work or at home, or when a simple traffic stop turns into an arrest.
A Las Vegas bench warrant attorney at the De Castroverde Law Group can meet with you to discuss your options in regards to your warrant. We may be able to file a motion on your behalf and work to have the warrant dismissed within only a couple of days, often without our client having to appear in court. Every case will vary, however, so it is important to discuss your particular situation with an attorney experienced in these matters.
Bench Warrants and Arrest Warrants in Nevada
While a bench warrant is issued for actions that place an individual in “contempt of court,” an arrest warrant is issued for the immediate arrest of an individual who is suspected of committing a crime. Law enforcement must get the arrest warrant from a judge based upon the reasonable suspicion that the individual has committed a criminal offense.
