Recently I had a warrant put on me for a check that is over 7 yrs old. Has the statue of limitations ran out on that?

I would say if the judge issues a warrant, I would guess not. Was there an older warrant and this may have been re-issues, since a warrant does not expire.

Your trouble now is that there is a warrant and as soon as they find you, you will be in jail, so you need an attorney even if it is over the SOL
