What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA
I have an outstanding, non-extraditable warrant from Pinellas County in Florida from 1989 which I just recently found out about. The warrant is for violation of probation for a felony. I was told by the court clerk in Florida that the only way to resolve it is to show up in Florida and turn myself in. I live in Virginia and a trip to Florida would cause financial hardship to my family. I have led a clean life ever since my incarceration, married with two children and a great job. I did find some information online saying that if I write a letter to the State Attorney for Pinellas County stating all my information and why I cannot come to Florida, that he might possibly resolve the warrant, seeing as how old it is, but there are no guarantees. Is this possible or should I hire a lawyer instead? Thank you.
