Massachusetts Outstanding Warrant Attorneys

A warrant for your arrest is a ticking time bomb in this day and age of computerized data sharing.  A bench warrant is a court-ordered document that, when issued by a judge, allows for a person's immediate, onsite arrest by law enforcement.  In Massachusetts, there are two types of warrants:  (1) Straight Warrants (also known as an "Arrest Warrant"), and (2) Default Warrants.

Straight Warrants are issued when the police believe a crime has been committed and request a judge issue a warrant.  Default Warrants are issued if you do not appear for court or fail to pay a fine.

Was a Warrant Issued In Your Name?

If you answered "yes", you are probably wondering what you should do.  The absolute best thing you can do after a warrant has been issued in your name is to consult with an experienced Massachusetts criminal defense attorney.

If you have an active warrant for your arrest, you are facing immediate arrest and incarceration in jail.  Additionally, while any warrant is active, your driver's license is immediately suspended.  Imagine being stopped while driving and being arrested and charged with two counts - driving with a suspended license and the original matter for which the warrant was issued in the first place.

The last thing you should do is ask a police officer because he or she might just arrest you on the spot.  It's much better if you find out discretely and confidentially by yourself so that you can be proactive about your situation before it gets out of hand.

Common Reasons For Having
Warrants Issued for Your Arrest

You may have not appeared at a scheduled court date, and were thus charged with failing to appear in court.  In other cases, you may not have renewed your auto registration or years ago you were ticketed for speeding and never paid the fine.  Given the increase in identity fraud, somebody may have stolen your identity and committed a crime under your name.

Don't Ignore or Avoid Your Unresolved Matters

If an outstanding warrant exists, you're taking a gamble every time you get into a car and drive.  A broken tail light, random checkpoint on the highway, or entrance into another country when your passport gets checked are all examples of when you get picked-up and arrested on the spot.

Since the early 2000's, it has been common for police departments in Massachusetts and across the country to have mounted video cameras, computers, and even license plate scanning technology in their cars.  Each of these makes it easier to identify vehicles and drivers associated with outstanding warrants.  To make matters even worse, computer databases are connected across the country, and information sharing between states is now the norm, rather than the exception.  By calling an experienced and aggressive criminal defense attorney, you can often times have an outstanding warrant recalled, and if evidence or witnesses are no longer available, the case can be completely dismissed.

Law Enforcement Has a
Unique Way of Dealing With Outstanding Warrants

If you are picked up on a default warrant you won't likely be released until you are brought before a Massachusetts judge.  To make matters even worse, it is not unusual for the police to wait until the Friday afternoon of a long weekend to arrest someone on a warrant.  You'll sit in jail Friday night, all day Saturday, and for the rest of the weekend before you're brought to court on Tuesday morning.
