Retain a good lawyer to surrender you and buy a diary to keep your appointments in.

I handle these cases. Do you have a criminal defense lawyer? If you go in voluntarily with your lawyer you should be okay unless you have a history of bench warrants. The above is for informational purposes only and not meant as legal advice.
