Why is There a Warrant?

There are many reasons why there may be a warrant out for your arrest. One of the most common reasons is that you are currently wanted for a crime. If you think there may be a warrant out for your arrest because of recent criminal activity, contact an aggressive Tampa warrant attorney at Pallegar Law, P.A.

An arrest warrant does not mean that you are guilty of a crime, and it does not mean that you will be convicted. It is just the first step often the beginning of a criminal case.

Another reason why a warrant may be issued is failure to appear in court (FTA). If you have a court date and do not show up, the judge will issue a warrant for your arrest. Retaining the right criminal defense attorney will ensure that you do not miss any court dates.

A warrant may also be issued if you violate your probation. There may be a number of terms and conditions you have to follow if you are on probation, and if you do not follow them, your probation officer can file an Affidavit of Violation of Probation.
