The State Attorney is your adversary. The only thing they will give you notice of is their intent to seek enhanced penalties. Your lawyer is your lawyer, not your babysitter, secretary or personal assistant. Like it or not you have some responsibility, including checking your mail. (As an aside you should be able to log onto the Clerk’s website and view your case…).
That said, your should call your lawyer, ask her/him to file a motion to set aside the warrant, then make certain that your address is correct in the Clerk’s system and then check your mail.
Good luck.
