If you know that a bench warrant has been issued for you, then you have an obligation to turn yourself in. Generally, the sooner you do that, the better ... and if you surrender voluntarily as opposed to being picked up, that should also be better for you. Past that, what will happen also depends on many variables, such as the allegations against you, your background, your ties to the community, etc.

What to expect really depends on many factors that you cannot go into over the internet here.
Some of those factors include your ties to the community, the length of the bench warrant, the alleged facts of the case, and, sometimes most importantly, which county in Pennsylvania you're dealing with. Please feel free to give me a call for a free initial consultation.
