A:
You have several options to address your warrant situation in Los Angeles County without risking detention. Public defenders can help with warrant recalls, but they typically can't represent you until you appear in court.
Consider contacting the Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office for guidance, or reach out to legal aid organizations like Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County or Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles. These organizations may be able to guide you through the process or connect you with free legal resources.
Your best immediate option might be calling the court clerk where your warrant was issued to ask about the recall process. Some courts allow you to schedule a new court date over the phone or through their website. You could also look into the Los Angeles County Bar Association's lawyer referral service, which sometimes offers initial consultations at reduced rates or no cost.
