A: You will probably need the help of an attorney's office to get it for you, so that you are not arrested at the clerk's office.

You need to know that warrants are like that girlfriend or boyfriend that you regret dating in high school. At some point, you must confront the warrant and handle it. To continue that bad analogy - you cant just ignore the warrant in the hallways - you have to deal with it. I have had clients who have been stopped and placed in custody on several different occasions for out of state misdemeanor warrants(like DUI) and never get it resolved. There is no reason to have misdemeanor DUI probation, no matter how pathetic your attempt at resolving your obligations with probation were, change your whole life and make you live in fear of the police.

You need to to deal with this head on and get it behind you - contact my law firm and we would be happy to help you with your situation. 1-866-608-5529

A: I agree with the previous post. Your drivers license is also likely suspended as a result. If the DUI probation was not complete you might not have cleared up your license. If you did complete that part of the probation your license can be suspended for failing to appear or failing to pay your fines. If your license is suspended for any reason the state you currently reside in should honor that suspension. An attorney can help you get this resolved and might be able to get it resolved without ever stepping foot in the jurisdiction. You can probably call the clerk to get the ticket number or look it up on the clerks page online depending on the county and date.
