Fort Lauderdale Bench Warrant Attorney

Bench Warrant in Ft. Lauderdale or Broward County?

When an individual has failed to make a court appearance, a “bench warrant” will be issued with their name on it. This warrant means that as soon as law enforcement finds you, whether in a traffic stop, at work or at home, you will immediately be arrested and put in jail without bond. You may have not even been aware that there was a bench warrant with your name on it until you are arrested. If you are facing this legal problem, it is vital that you contact a Fort Lauderdale criminal defense attorney to assist you in quickly resolving the issue. At Hager & Schwartz, P.A., the legal team can assist you with dealing with any bench warrant and is prepared to assist you in the swift handling of this problem.

Bench Warrant Lawyer in Broward County

If the bench warrant is related to a criminal offense, it is crucial that a criminal defense lawyer from Hager & Schwartz, P.A. immediately starts legal efforts on your behalf. In these cases the warrant is an “alias capias” and is very serious. If you are arrested on such a warrant, you may be required to be in jail until the entire criminal case has made its way through the court system to the verdict. With the assistance of a skilled criminal defense lawyer from the firm, legal actions are taken to get the warrant removed as quickly as possible.

In some cases, the warrant is completely in error, as the order to appear in court may have been sent to an old address, wrong address or other problem. The court sends the warrant only to the address that is on file, and if you no longer reside at that address, and do not receive it, no further efforts are made to find you; a warrant is merely issued for your arrest. If it can be proven that you were properly notified, the warrant will be on file and if stopped by law enforcement, you will be put in jail.
