Having an Outstanding Warrant in Massachusetts state or federal court can affect you in a number of ways. A bench warrant can subject you to arrest; there is not statute of limitations. Your drivers license is revoked An example, every time you are stopped for a traffic violation, the police runs your criminal history to check for warrants. So you can be arrested without the chance to be bailed until you go in front of a Judge or Clerk Magistrate. So, if you are pulled over on a Friday afternoon and you have an Outstanding warrant, there's a very good chance you will be held in custody until Monday morning when the Courts open back up.
Attorney Nathan has resolved literally hundreds of old warrants for clients across the county and overseas who require assistance with removing or recalling old Massachusetts arrest warrants and resinstating their drivers license. Additionally, Attorney Nathan works with clients who have Outstanding Warrants in other states as well, serving as local counsel and appearing pro hoc in other States.
The Procedure for Removing Outstanding Warrants: Attorney Nathan will be present in Court to cancel your Outstanding Warrant, and move to waive your appearance unless your presence is not waived by the Court because your offense is DWI. Attorney Nathan will make preliminary arrangements with the Court, the District Attorney's Office and the Probation Department to ensure that it is a dispositive trip to Court if your appearance is required. Usually, a disposition (end) of the case can be negotiated with the District Attorney's Office and the Probation Department, so there will be a tentative resolution in place before the trip to Court is made.
