Legal Question in Criminal Law in Missouri

I got a letter in the mail from a bail bond company saying I had a warrant out for my arrest. I live in Kansas and the warrant is supposedly in Missouri. How can I check the validity of their claim and is it a good idea to contact and meet with them like they are suggesting for me to do?

For must jurisdictions, you can check for warrants online. Can also hire an attorney to investigate for you (you'll probably need one anyway, if there is a warrant). But, you shod not meet with anyone without knowing the facts.

Good luck

You can check a site called Casenet, and it may show an open criminal case. Do not deal with the bail bondsman. In many jurisdiction you can save thousands of dollars and make the whole process easier on yourself if you hire your attorney first. Obviously, the person who sent you that letter is only trying to take advantage of you to make money.
