Warrants We Handle

  • Warrants obtained by law enforcement alleging probable cause

  • Warrants for violation of probation (VOP)

What an Attorney Can Offer

If you have a warrant out for your arrest, the worst possible thing you can do is evade police, ignore it, or attempt to flee out of state. Sooner or later (likely sooner), you will be apprehended by law enforcement. But before heading down to the police station, it is advisable to contact an attorney. For example, if the warrant arrived via the mail from a bond company allowing  for self-arrest, contacting an attorney can help you negotiate a surrender, as opposed to having the police arrest you whenever they find you. If the warrant was for failure to appear in court or a violation of probation, you must appear before a judge prior to bond being set. By contacting an attorney beforehand, you will have an advantage for when it comes time to being released (we can provide invaluable support effecting a release as soon as possible). In some cases, if a bench warrant was issued by the court, an attorney may be able to file a motion to withdraw, enabling you to appear in court without an arrest. In total, services a Tampa warrant lawyer can provide include:

  • Ensuring that you actually have an outstanding warrant
  • Providing invaluable instruction on what steps to take next
  • Filing a motion to surrender
  • Determining the amount of bond required for release
  • Helping to clarify terms or method of surrender
  • Filing other motions on your behalf

  • Keeping you from giving unnecessary information to interrogatories or prosecutors
  • Scheduling an emergency bond reduction and getting you released from custody
