Arrest Warrant in Pasco County
The attorneys at Sammis Law Firm help clients resolve an outstanding arrest warrant in Pasco County, FL, including:
- probable cause arrest warrants;
- bench warrants;
- any capias issued by the judge in court;
- the failure to appear (FTA) capias;
- juvenile pick-up orders; or
- fugitive extradition warrants.
The first step is confirming the existence of the warrant. You can search for the warrant in three places:
- the FDLE statewide warrant search;
- the Pasco Sheriff’s Office online warrant search feature; or
- search criminal court records on the Pasco County Clerk of Court website.
Warrants can arise in various circumstances. We have represented clients on arrest warrants that were 20 or 30 years old. In other cases, the client retains our firm right after the warrant is issued.
Ideally, you should hire an attorney when you find out a criminal investigation has begun. Your attorney can provide favorable or exculpatory evidence to the investigating officer that might convince the officer not to obtain the warrant in the first place.
No matter the circumstances, we work hard to help you fight a criminal accusation.
