LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Terrell Owens has a new lawyer who will clear up a California arrest warrant issued after he allegedly missed a court appearance, his representative said.

The former star wide receiver thought he had rescheduled the Oct. 24 child-support hearing so he could attend an NFL workout; however the Contra Costa County court apparently thought differently and issued a warrant for his arrest.

Spokeswoman Diana Bianchini said Owens was "deeply upset that anyone would misconstrue his non-appearance in court."

Bianchini said Owens, who is attempting to catch on with a new team, has no current income. He had asked the court to restructure his child-support obligations, which had been based on the $11 million he made in 2007 with the Dallas Cowboys.

"In addition to this, his attorneys have just filed a lawsuit on his behalf for $2 million in a case where advisers who had access to his accounts were seriously mishandling funds," Bianchini said.
