Charged With A Crime? We're Ready To Fight.
What Happens if I Have an Arrest Warrant?
An arrest warrant is a legal document that is used when someone is to be arrested. In many cases, an arrest warrant occurs because you have failed to check in with the court when required or have some other infraction that was not properly addressed within a set period of time. When this happens, the court will submit an arrest warrant. Depending on the type of infraction, an arrest warrant won’t necessarily result in officers coming to your home. In most cases, an arrest warrant will show up on your record and will be found by police if you are involved in another potential arrest situation.
How to know if there is An Arrest Warrant
You may not always know that you have an outstanding warrant for your arrest. Many people don’t find out until they are stopped on a traffic violation, at which time they learn that they have a warrant. If this occurs you will be immediately put under arrest. If you think you may have an arrest warrant you can find out by looking at the Florida online Department of Law Enforcement site or contact the County Clerk for the county where you reside. If you do have an arrest warrant you need to take care of it.
The best thing to do if you have an arrest warrant is to contact an attorney. You will need to get a court date. This is the time you will go in front of the judge to learn the charges against you and how they will be handled. Depending on the charges, you may be remanded at the time. If this occurs, the court will set bail and you will be able to get out of jail by paying the set amount of money. Your attorney will review your warrant and inform you of the details and what they mean to you. It is usually best to try to resolve the warrant before you are caught with an outstanding warrant.
Seek Help From an Attorney
It is a good idea to choose an attorney with knowledge in criminal defense. Your attorney should know and understand the current laws that will govern your specific offense. A good attorney will provide focused defense and stand by you throughout the legal process. No matter what your legal problems, it is best to address them and get the situation resolved. A lawyer will assist in the procedure and answer any questions that you may have. Seek legal counsel as soon as possible if you are facing a possible arrest warrant.
