What Happens After a Warrant Is Issued?

If you are taken into custody on a bench or arrest warrant, you will be forced to appear in court for any proceedings you missed and may be subject to further legal penalties. The longer you attempt to avoid arrest, the more severe your penalties may become. When you voluntarily return to court with legal representation, a judge will likely look more approvingly upon your case.

An arrest warrant may lead to the following consequences:

• Criminal conviction
• Jail time
• Prison time
• Severe fines
• Probation time
• Restricted parole

By retaining legal counsel and appearing in court, you substantially minimize the potential consequences you may have to face. At The Law Offices of Jeff Paulk, we are here to ensure that your rights are protected.

How a Tampa Warrant Attorney Can Help

There are several reasons why a warrant may be issued for your arrest; most commonly, it’s because of a failure to appear at trial. We understand that our clients often miss court because they did not receive proper notice of the court date or were misinformed about the specific location/time. If the court finds that you did not receive notice for your court date, the court can withdraw the warrant. 

If you did have notice of your court date but failed to appear for another reason, our Tampa warrant lawyer can still help. We can help get your case before the court, explain why you missed the court date, and request that the court withdraw your warrant. The court must know you are ready to appear to face your charges. If you wait until after being arrested on the outstanding warrant, explaining your reason is always more complicated. It may also take several days or weeks for your case to get before the court.
