Q: I had a ticket back in 2017 which I had a lawyer for.. I have not been driving due my health and it open with bench
A: If there is a bench warrant, you should retain an attorney to represent you. An attorney can file a motion to recall the warrant. If the motion is granted, the warrant will be quashed and the case set for trial. The attorney can then defend you on the charges. You should reach out to the attorney you retained.
Leonard A Englander agrees with this answer
A: I agree with Counsel. Continuity of care is very useful in situations such as these. Your first stop should be your prior attorney, who should be able to get the bench warrant taken care of.
