Pittsburgh Attorney to Handle Bench Warrants and Bail
You want to do everything you can to stay out of jail. If you fail to show up in court for a hearing regarding your criminal charges, the police will pick you up and you will be brought to jail. An experienced lawyer can get you help. I am criminal defense attorney Michael V. Worgul, and from my offices in Pittsburgh, I make jail visits across western Pennsylvania, helping my clients fight their bench warrants.

Whether you have been arrested and jailed immediately or you were put in jail after failing to show up at a hearing or trial, you want to find a way to be released. If the magistrate has set an excessive bail, you can ask for a bail hearing to have it changed. Every case is different, and in the event that I may not be able to get you out of jail completely, I am often able to have my clients placed in alternative arrangements.
At your bail hearing, it is important that the court consider two factors:
- Will the person show up for trial?
- How dangerous is this person to society?
The courts are obliged to consider both factors, but unless they have good reason to believe you are a threat to give them trouble, getting you out of jail may be possible. I will assess your case quickly and see whether or not there is anything that I can do for you.
Existing Warrants For Arrest
If you believe that there is an outstanding warrant for your arrest because you missed a hearing, I can get this cleared up for you with minimal inconvenience. I know the process to have you turned in with a hearing on the same day which results in the reinstatement of your original bail.
