If I have 2 warrants for misdemeanors I need to know if I can just pay them off or if I have to go to jail?

Both warrants are over a year old – 1 for petty larceny and 1 for breaking and entering with intent to commit mischief. I payed $300 and did a day of community service; I had like 5 more days to do. I have a job and I don’t want to lose it over this.

If you have two outstanding warrants for your arrest, you need to retain a criminal defense attorney to assist you in clearing them and resolving the underlying criminal matters so that the sentence that was imposed upon you can be deemed satisfied.

A criminal defense attorney experienced in clearing outstanding warrants being retained in your situation would be the most prudent use of resources for you given the situation you are now in and possibly could get the current problem that you are confronted with taken care of with no jail time for you.

Good luck.
