Your best course of action is to hire an attorney and surrender yourself on the warrant. If you do this with a private attorney, the court will understand that you plan on addressing the charges as evidenced by the attorney. If you can't afford to hire a private lawyer, you should still appear but the chances of being held rise somewhat. The worst thing that you can do is to ignore it. If you are picked up by the police on the warrant, then the court will most likely hold you or set a high bail since there will be no evidence that you had any intention of addressing the warrant. All information and analysis provided herein is for Massachusetts law and Massachusetts cases, ONLY. If your matter or question involves the laws of another state please disregard this post and seek advice from an attorney licensed to practice law in the applicable state.
