Felony Arrest Warrant
A felony arrest warrant is a warrant issued by a judge or magistrate on behalf of the state, which authorizes the arrest and detention of an individual, or the search and seizure of an individual’s property for felony crimes.
If you’ve been arrested in Florida on a Felony Arrest Warrent, what that means is a judge has already determined probable cause and signed a warrant – that’s already been decided. You can’t argue probable cause at that point.
However, what you can do – what we are able to do is persuade the judge that you should be given a low bond or perhaps even a no bond at all and may be released because of other circumstances, such as, you had a job, such as you have good ties to the community, you never failed to appear in court before – or that the charge is not so serious that would warrant you having a high bond.
We can do that when you have a felony arrest warrant, and get the bond lowered or sometimes eliminated completely.

Florida Law Regarding Felony Arrest Warrants:
As per the Florida Statutes, Chapter 901.02, the issuance of a felony arrest warrant can commence when:
(1) A judge, upon examination of the complaint and proofs submitted, if satisfied that probable cause exists for the issuance of an arrest warrant for any crime committed within the judge’s jurisdiction, shall thereupon issue an arrest warrant signed by the judge with the judge’s name of office.
(2) The court may issue a warrant for the defendant’s arrest when all of the following circumstances apply:
(3) A judge may electronically sign an arrest warrant if the requirements of subsection (1) or subsection (2) are met and the judge, based on an examination of the complaint and proofs submitted, determines that the complaint:
(a) Bears the affiant’s signature, or electronic signature if the complaint was submitted electronically.
(4) An arrest warrant shall be deemed to be issued by a judge at the time the judge affixes the judge’s signature or electronic signature to the warrant. As used in this section, the term “electronic signature” has the same meaning as provided in s. 933.40.
