A warrant for your arrest might have a bail preset by a Judge. If not, it will be set after your arrest by the Commissioner. The amount of bail is determined by the seriousness of the charges and your prior arrest history. The best thing to do is contact a criminal lawyer to see if a bail has been set, and if so petition the Court, prior to your arrest, to see if the bail can be changed.

Perhaps the warrant might be converted to a summons. I offer a free initial consultation.
