How to Lift a Bench Warrant in Fulton County State Court

If you miss a court date in Fulton County State Court, the solicitor has the ability to request that a bench warrant be issued, and the judge may grant the request. This means that there is an active warrant for your arrest, and you could be picked up at any time. But we can help you resolve the bench warrant and get your case back on track.

Resolving a bench warrant in Fulton County State Court is typically simple if you have not yet been arrested on the warrant. When you hire our firm, we will go to the clerk’s office and request that the bench warrant be recalled or cancelled. Occasionally, certain judges will assign a cash bond to a bench warrant and, if you have been arrested, you will have to post that cash bond to be released. There are also some judges that require an in-person court appearance to have a bench warrant lifted.
