Unfortunately, when one fails to appear in court as ordered, what might have started out as a relatively minor matter, can be magnified and compounded into a much larger problem.
The most obvious problem is that the failure to appear generally results in an arrest warrant being issued. What that means is that by ignoring an order to appear in court, not only does it result in the issuance of a bench warrant, but now a new charge for failing to appear is now added to the already pending charges. That is how a minor matter, even the most minor traffic matter, gets compounded and magnified into a much larger problem.
An attorney, who possesses the experience of dealing with these matters, will know exactly what to do to resolve the problem. First, a court appearance will be necessary to seek to have the warrant recalled. Thereafter, the underlying case, along with the new failure to appear charges, will need to be placed on calendar to be heard. It is critical to realize that the problems that are now created by the issuance of the warrant will absolutely not go away until the individual involved decides that it is time to deal with it.
