Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts

I have 2 warrants in Massachusetts from 1989 when I was 17. I believe both misdemeanors. Before I could go to court I moved to Florida got my fl license and got my life together. Now I'm married with kids and have a great job and still live in Florida. However I just went to renew my license in Florida and mass has my old mass license suspended and it is keeping me from renewing in fl. How can I get suspension from mass removed the quickest. Obviously I think I need a lawyer because I'm 1400 miles away.

A computer systems get better integrated and law enforcement authorities work together better, even across state lines, out of state warrants are surfacing for many people.

Massachusetts will not remove the license suspension until the warrants are recalled, which will require you to appear and remove the defaults.

An attorney can be of assistance in minimizing the number of court appearances, or in negotiating resolutions, possibly even in advance of your appearances. In addition, depending upon the charges and your prolonged absence in answering to them, there may be a request for bail by the District Attorney's Office; an attorney can assist in addressing this issue in advance of your appearance.
