If you missed your court appearance date well over a year ago, most likely there is an outstanding bench warrant out for your arrest that needs to be cleared. To do so, you should probably retain a criminal defense attorney to assist you in this endeavor as well as getting the restitution amount that you owe paid in full.
I suggest that you retain a criminal defense attorney who practices in the county where your criminal matter is situated.
