West Palm Beach Bail Bond and Warrant Lawyers

Criminal Defense Attorneys in Florida

The experienced lawyers at Musca Law provide aggressive criminal defense for clients facing bail bond or warrant issues in West Palm Beach, Florida. A bail bond is obtained through a bail bondsman or agency if a judge grants a person bail before his or her case goes to trial. If a person can afford the bail bonds fees (typically 10% of the bail amount) it will allow for a person to remain free on the promise to appear in court. If a person decides to flee by not appearing in court, not only must they pay the original bail amount ordered, but they will face immediate incarceration once found by law enforcement. In addition, if the crime was being charged in state court and a person flees across state lines or outside of the country, the case may then involve the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and can result in federal charges.

Florida Bench Warrants, Arrest Warrants and Violation Warrants

Warrants may be issued when a person commits a crime and then avoids arrest. An arrest warrant, also referred to as a capias warrant, is issued for anyone who is suspected of committing a misdemeanor act outside of the presence of law enforcement. If law officials have reason to believe that a person did in fact commit the said crime then an affidavit can be obtained to order his or her immediate arrest. Arrest warrants only apply to misdemeanor cases and not felony crimes. Another type of warrant that may be issued is a bench warrant. This type of warrant is signed by a criminal court judge and enforced whenever there is a promise to appear in court or a mandatory court-ordered appearance and a person fails to appear. Regardless of a person’s excuse or whether or not they intentionally failed to appear, once a bench warrant is issued law enforcement will be on the lookout for that person to make an immediate arrest.
