Re: Received Warrant of Arrest
My condolences for your loss. Bring evidence of the death (even a newspaper obituary is sufficient, although a death certificate is better)and you should be ok.
If not, have an attorney available by telephone to help you. But the warrant will be dismissed and the matter picked up where it would have been with no negative consequences.
Good luck.
