Go to the court with a lawyer and deal with the warrant.

To resolve the warrant you need to go to the court that issued the warrant. Once there go to the clerk's office and request that it be put on calendar for that day. When it is called tell your story to the judge. Most likely, you will not go to jail.

Hire a lawyer to recall the warrant. A lawyer can do this without you present, so it is less risky for you.

It may be as easy as calling the court and requesting a new court date. It could also require you to surrender yourself to the police. I can't say without knowing the facts. I suggest thsat you retain an attorney.

You can an attorney file a motion to quash the bench warrant if it was issued by a Judge. If it is an arrest warrant you to turn yourself to metropolitan police department to be processed. Go early to the police station if it is an arrest warrant.

It depends upon what the warrant is for. You must go to court and have it placed on calender.If it is a felony warrant you should contact a bail bondsmen in case bail is required. If it is a misdemeanor by showing up you likely will be released on your own recognizance.

What is the warrant for and how old is it? Generally if you are trying to recall and quash a warrant, I recommend hiring an attorney to handle that for you/with you, and then handling the underlying charge that spawned the warrant to begin with. How I would advise someone on dealing with a warrant issue more specifically would depend on that persons situation. A lot of variables that can come into play.
