Arrest Warrant Attorney in Orlando

When a warrant has been issued for your arrest, it is important to consult with an experienced arrest warrant attorney in Orlando. At Adams, Luka, & Benton we know many people tend to put the situation out of their minds, although this often results in making the matter even more serious. An outstanding warrant can impact several aspects of your life, including whether you can obtain or continue to benefit from Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid.

Basically, it is a court order issued by a judge that gives law enforcement officers permission to arrest someone who is suspected of criminal activity, has violated probation or failed to appear for a scheduled court date and take that person into custody. The information in an arrest warrant is shared with county, state and local law enforcement personnel so you cannot go “under the radar” or remain undetected should you be stopped for a traffic violation or other minor offense.

When an arrest warrant is issued the judge has the power to determine whether a person is eligible for bond or whether that person will be held on no-bond, which means no bonding out of jail until the point that individual goes before the judge who issued the warrant. The most common arrest warrants include:

• Failure to Appear
• Violation of Probation
• Felony Arrest Warrants
• Extradition Warrants

Regardless of the type, an Orlando criminal defense lawyer will work with you in an effort to resolve the issue. This may involve arranging your surrender, clearing up the warrant or other action.

There are situations in which an individual may not realize there is a warrant out for his or her arrest. However, when the warrant is for probation violation or failure to appear, the person is usually aware of the situation. In this case it is recommended the individual contact the Clerk of the Court to learn whether the arrest warrant remains active.

In addition to helping you resolve the situation, an arrest warrant lawyer in Orlando can also help if you are entitled to bond by having bond set before the judge or having the amount lowered. In any case, it is vital to work with an attorney who is skilled and dedicated to securing the best possible resolution for the client.
