Q: I had a warrant issued on me 2yrs ago and have not took care of it on behalf of not knowing what it is for. what do i do
A: I would recommend hiring an attorney to help you out, assuming this is for a criminal matter. The first thing you or your attorney would need to do is quash your warrant by filing a motion with the court. Once that is done, you would need to set up a pre-trial conference in order to obtain the police reports and discovery and begin negotiations with the prosecutor's office. Do not wait too long to quash your warrant. Every day that passes could be the day you get stopped by police and arrested on the outstanding warrant.
