More details to this question:
I am facing charges on a first offense DUI that was back in 2009 in Lancaster county Pa. I missed my 3rd court date and turned myself in and was ROR back out... But due to complications of getting to my next court date I missed it... now I’m not sure what happens now... could I quite possibly have another warrant out for my arrest and if so could I possibly get ROR back out again or what? There’s a lot of other details involved but I have 7 months in on the charge. Should I turn myself in or should I get a lawyer to fight it?

Get a lawyer to go with you to turn yourself in. In my county, you may be able to pull this off by going to motions court with an attorney and a bail agent from the county. The judge would probably raise your bond. I cannot speak to how other counties handle this.
