I have a warrant for my arrest that i did not know about, it is for a failure to appear on a speeding ticket. It is almost 3 years old? What kind of punishment will I get for my first offense of this type?

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
If you retain a knowledgable attorney, it may be able to be worked out amicably with the court by payment of court costs and a fine. If you ignore it and you end up getting arrested at some time in the future, it could be far worse.
