Los Angeles Bench Warrants Defense Lawyer

Failure to Pay a Fine

If you have been ordered by the court to pay a fine within a certain time frame and fail to do so, it is very likely that a bench warrant will be issued with your name on it.  As the paying of the fine was part of your sentence, as in a DUI offense, most likely you avoided some amount of jail time with alternative sentencing - including the fine.  However, if it remains unpaid past the time allowed, the court will want you arrested and put in jail.  In some cases, all that is necessary to resolve the issue is to get a Los Angeles bench warrants defense lawyer to assist you to handle the issue regarding your fine and have the warrant recalled.  In other cases, it could be more complex, as the court may consider that you should now face the sentence you avoided in the sentencing for the original crime or misdemeanor.  Judges do not look kindly upon those who fail to pay a fine that was ordered.
