Naples Criminal Defense Attorney

A skilled attorney can provide a number of legal services in regards to warrants and bail bonds. At Musca Law, our Naples criminal defense attorneys assist clients with the following:

A warrant is a formal court order authorizing the arrest of an individual for a certain reason. A bench warrant is issued most often for a person’s failure to appear for a scheduled court appearance, but may also be issued for a failure to pay a court-ordered fine. An arrest warrant is usually issued when law enforcement has probable cause to believe that the individual named in the warrant has violated the law. A violations warrant, also referred to as a probation warrant, is issued for a probation violation.

If you have discovered that there is a warrant for your arrest, the most important thing to do is to contact a criminal defense lawyer immediately. By consulting a lawyer, you can work out a plan that will help you to avoid imprisonment and criminal penalties. The worst thing you can do is flee or avoid law enforcement. It is better to work with a lawyer and confront the situation head on, where your lawyer can help you do something about it.

A defense attorney can also help you if you have been arrested and are being held in custody. Your bail may have been set at an amount that is excessively high, or perhaps your bail hasn’t been set and you are awaiting a bond hearing. Either way, an attorney can help by representing you at your bond appearance (bond hearing) or bond reduction hearing in order to help you avoid having a bail amount set so high that you have no chance of getting out of custody.
