The best way for you to resolve the outstanding bench warrant issue stemming back right (8) years is for you to contact a criminal defense attorney who practices in the county and state where the warrant was issued. He or she can get the warrant recalled and begin the process of resolving the underlying criminal matter without you having to appear in court.
