Q: I have an active warrant Failure to Comply in Colorado. I left the state over 20 years ago and never looked back.

Is there any loophole to have the warrant removed without returning to the state?

A: You could certainly always hire a lawyer in CO to attempt to clear the warrant on your behalf without your presence. This is something you should consider now, specifically, as most Courts throughout CO are their proceedings virtually. So, you can appear without having to be physically present. If you have a lawyer set your case and you appear virtually with a good reason, there is a CHANCE that you could get the warrant clear - but your reasons will have to be very solid because 20 years is a long time to have an active warrant.
