More than likely you have an arrest warrant for failing to appear in court. Time to hire an attorney.

A warrant issues. Best advice... call the court and see if you can get on a warrant re-call calendar.

Absolutely. You should hire a lawyer to go to court to recall the warrant. A lawyer can do this without you present if the underlying charge is a misdemeanor, so it is less risky for you.

They will give you another warrant, but might just give a court date if you call the clerk to re-schedule ASAP.

Yes. You have a warrant. You have to set it on calendar to recall. Usually an attorney can do it for you.

I think you can count on the fact that there is probably a warrant out for your immediate arrest. I would suggest you engage an attorney and get this matter straightened out before you are calling from the jail.
