What is an Outstanding Warrant?
An outstanding warrant is a court order authorizing law enforcement to arrest you. Warrants are issued for failure to appear in court, failure to pay fines, probation violations, or suspicion of criminal activity.
How to Check for Warrants
You can check the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office website or contact our office to search for active warrants. Don't wait — acting proactively is always better than surprise arrest.
Voluntary Surrender
We can arrange a voluntary surrender, negotiate bail conditions in advance, and ensure you receive fair treatment during the process. Turning yourself in with legal representation is significantly better than being arrested unexpectedly.
Resolving the Underlying Charges
We represent you in court to address the underlying charges or issues that led to the warrant. Our goal is to resolve the situation with minimal consequences to your freedom and record.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be arrested if I have a warrant? Yes, at any traffic stop, border crossing, or police encounter. Proactive resolution is always better. Can I travel if I have a warrant? Traveling with an outstanding warrant is extremely risky. You can be arrested at any time. What happens when I turn myself in? With legal representation, we pre-negotiate bail and court appearances to minimize disruption to your life.

Top-Asked Questions
No. Always politely decline to answer questions and request an attorney immediately. Anything you say can be used against you, even if taken out of context. Police are trained to extract information, and you have the right to legal representation. We strongly advise invoking your right to counsel before any questioning.
Misdemeanors are less serious crimes (shoplifting, simple assault) punishable by up to one year in jail. Felonies are more serious (burglary, drug trafficking) and carry sentences of more than one year or potentially life imprisonment. The charge type affects penalties, sentencing guidelines, and your rights.
Yes. Charges can be dismissed if evidence is insufficient, if your constitutional rights were violated (illegal search), if the statute of limitations expired, or if the prosecutor agrees to dismissal. We investigate the evidence thoroughly and file motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence and challenge weak cases.
At arraignment, you're informed of charges, advised of your rights, and bail/bond is set. You enter a plea (not guilty, guilty, or no contest). It's critical to have an attorney present—what you say and do affects your entire case. We protect your rights from the first court appearance.
You can go to trial (where guilt must be proven beyond reasonable doubt), negotiate a plea deal with reduced charges/sentences, or pursue other resolutions. We evaluate the evidence strength, witnesses, and prosecution's case to advise you on your best option. The decision is always yours.
