    Quashing Warrants

    Clearing bench warrants for Failure to Appear in DUI cases.

    Understanding Quashing Warrants

    If you fail to appear for a scheduled court date or fail to complete the terms of your DUI probation, the judge will issue a bench warrant for your arrest. Once a warrant is active, you can be arrested at any time, such as during a routine traffic stop. An attorney can often go to court on your behalf to "quash" (recall) the warrant, keeping you out of custody and putting your case back on track.
