Massachusetts Warrant Attorney

If you know that you have a Massachusetts Warrant you need to speak with a Massachusetts Warrant Attorney. Attorney Patrick Donovan helps clients remove all types of  Massachusetts Warrants.

What is a warrant? A warrant is an order by a judge that allows police officers to arrest a person on-site. In Massachusetts there are two types of warrants, straight warrants and defaults warrants. A straight warrant is also known as an arrest warrant. An arrest warrant is issued when the police apply for felony criminal charges. A default warrant happens when a person does not appear for court or fails to pay a fine.

Easily Remove Your Massachusetts Default Warrant

You don’t want to have an active  Massachusetts warrant against you. There are many consequences to having an active Massachusetts warrant. You may be arrested on site by the police. If arrested on a Massachusetts warrant the person must be brought into the court, that means that bail will not be set at the police station. Second, while the Massachusetts default warrant is active a person’s driver’s license will be suspended. If that person is stopped while driving he or she will not only be arrested but also charged with driving with a suspended license. Third, any benefits a person receives from the government will cease while the Massachusetts warrant is active.

Effects of a Massachusetts warrant on out of state residents

Massachusetts warrants effect out of state residents. Eventually your driver’s license will either become suspended or it will not renew. Benefits will cease, and you may be arrested and held in jail. Having a default warrant can also effect entry into the country.

Do I have to come back to Massachusetts to remove the warrant?

That depends on the case. However many times the client does not have to appear and the case may even be dismissed without the client ever having to come to court. If you are not living in Mass. call and speak with a Massachusetts Warrant Attorney to learn more.
