What do I do if I have a warrant?

The instinct is either to ignore it or to turn yourself in immediately. Neither is the best move.

Ignoring it doesn't work. Warrants don't expire, and they surface at the worst times — a traffic stop, a job background check, a license renewal, an airport.

Turning yourself in without counsel means arriving with no bond arranged, no motion filed, and no control over timing.

What an attorney can do first: determine what the warrant is for and whether bond is set, file a motion to recall or quash it where there's a basis, arrange a surrender at a time when a judge is available, and in some circumstances resolve the matter without custody at all.

Timing matters more than people expect. Surrendering on a Tuesday morning is a different experience than being arrested on a Friday night, purely because of when a judge is next available.
