You should definitely hire a lawyer but you will likely have to post a bond or go into custody to address the matter.

Yes, the lawyer will also help you go through a bail bondsman to pay the bond if it can't be lifted. You need the lawyer for the Motion to Revoke as well.

A lawyer should be able to talk to te court manager and set the matter for hearing on the question of whether you are entitled to a bond (in felony cases) or just get a bond set in misdemeanor cases. What sounds intriguing about your case is the length of time. Generally, your probation cannot be more than ten years (in state felony cases) so the court may not have jurisdiction over your case, and as a result, the warrant is innapropriate.
