What to do if I found out that I have a felony warrant that was issued 4 years ago in another state?

It was a business client who said that I owe him $1200 for a transaction (larceny). I was just going to send him a check. How do I handle this with least amount of issues?

If you have a felony warrant, you need a lawyer. A business client indicating you owe him money is a civil matter. He must have obtained either some form of judgment against you or prosecution filed criminal charges against you for larceny. You need to get to the bottom of the matter and see if it can be resolved through payment. You will then need to determine what will happen to your charges (way to get it dismissed, lowered and qualified for expungement).
