Common Types of Arrest Warrants in Florida
When an arrest warrant is issued, only the judge has the power to determine whether a person is eligible for bond or whether that person will be held on no-bond. This sometimes means that the defendant will NOT be able to bond out until he/she has a first appearance hearing. The most common warrants are:
- Failure to Appear - Did not show up to court when summoned
- Violation of Probation - Violated conditions associated with Probation
- Felony Arrest Warrants- Warrants that are results of different types of investigation
- Extradition Warrants - A Request from one state to another to hold and transport defendant.
Regardless of the type, I will work with you to understand the nature of the evidence against you and work to resolve it. This normally includes surrendering at the jail or re-setting a court date, but can involve other actions. Most times an individual may not realize there is a warrant out for his or her arrest, in other cases they have been preparing for it. Either way contacting me and starting to understand the stakes is a great start. I can inform you if the warrant is still active and the next steps to take to defend your rights and fight your case.
