A failure to appear is not taken lightly by the courts in L.A.  Once you have missed a court date, whether for a DUI, traffic violation or sentencing hearing, you are now in serious trouble.  The more serious the original crime or misdemeanor the more skill needed from your lawyer to resolve the issue.  At the Law Offices of Sean Tabibian & Associates, the legal team has resolved these matters in a huge variety of cases and would like to get the details of your situation and help you to fight to avoid going to jail on the bench warrant.

The court ordinarily sends out notices to the last address they had on file for you; if you have moved, you could miss the order to appear, and then be unaware that a bench warrant has been issued in your name.  However, the court may consider that you should have informed them of your move, or could decide that you are a risk of flight in more serious charges, such as any criminal charges that are pending.  It is absolutely vital that you have a skilled criminal defense lawyer working on this issue immediately.  Otherwise, you may face an extended period of time in jail awaiting your court date, and when you are sentenced, it could affect the court's decision with regard to granting probation or insisting on jail time.
