What can I do if I am too scared to go to court?
I need to clear my warrant, I’m scared to go to court and be taken in jail due to keeping my job.

You got to man up and face the music. Get a bail bondsman so they can bail you out asap after you turn yourself in. Many companies can even do a walk through with no jail time.

Hire a lawyer. Tell them you want to turn yourself in so that the warrant will be cleared, but you want the lawyer to turn in a bond at the same time you turn yourself in, so that the jail will know to release you after they book you.

It depends. If you warrant is for a Class C ticket, you can hire a lawyer to file an Attorney Bond. The Attorney can enter an appearance, clear the warrant, and assist in getting the fine set so you can pay it without arrest. If it is a Class A or B Misdemeanor or Felony, you need to get a bondsman (or find out what the bond is and secure the cash) and turn yourself in at a convenient time so that you can immediately post bond and get released.

If you have a warrant, you should first talk to a lawyer in person - call 3 to 5 then meet with a couple and hire one. After talking with the lawyer, you will have more information but you will need to post a bond so that you are not held in jail. Then you will appear in court and face the charges - with your lawyer helping you.
