Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

response

The easiest way to handle this type of matter regarding the warrant would be to return to Florida and turn yourself into the county when the Warrant originates. Otherwise you will be locked up for a much longer time time waiting for transport and extradition proceedings. If you are concerned about the cost to return to Florida, you should also be aware that the Court will probably charge you for the extradition. Therefore, making your own arrangement to return to Florida would be much easier than to pay for the jail transportation. Its also up to Florida to decide whether or not they want to extradite you. They may refuse. If you would like for me to take a closer look at your situation, please do not hesitate to contact my office. We offer free consultations.

Re: Exradision

I would suggest that you make arrangements to return to the county in Florida from which the warrant was issued. I have represented clients in your position prior to the client surrendering himself so hopefully the case can be resolved quickly. If you'd like to speak to me about this call at my office this morning.

Re: Exradision

The problem you may have is that Florida may not want to extradite you if it is a relatively minor charge and may be content to let the warrant sit there forever. Perhaps the matter can be disposed of without the necessity of you traveling back to Florida. It would need some investigation. I see you are in Shelby County. If you ever get out this way give me a call and we can chat.
