If the cases have gone to warrant, you will probably need an attorney even if you get a bondsman.An attorney may be able to get the warrants recalled, and the cases set back on the active docket, without posting a bond. You may contact me by email if you need a referral to an attorney. Some take weekly payments or barter for property. Let me know what jurisdiction yrou case is in.

Good luck

You definitely should hire an attorney if you are able to do so. The attorney can help with the warrants and also help you to avoid convictions on your record and jail time. Most attorneys will charge at least $500 for a single case like this, but it would be well worth it if you can find a way.
