Legal Question in DUI Law in Massachusetts

: DUI Statute of Limitations - NONE

There is no limitation on a warrant.

It exists for ever.

What happens depends on the individual's circumstances.

He definitely needs legal help;

You should talk to no one, and certainly not post a detailed description on the internet.

The next person you should and must speak to is an attorney to analyze the case, and discuss your options.

Re: DUI Limitations

There is no limitation on outstanding default/arrest warrants and this person will be arrested on that warrant if he is located in Massachusetts.

He should retain an attorney and speak to no one else about resolving this matter.

Re: DUI Limitations

Once issued, the warrant will live forever, or until it is "recalled" when the person shows up in court. I can't tell you if this person is looking at jail time, or not, because I don't know enough about the offense. Certain repeat DUI offenses carry mandatory jail terms while others do not. It depends on the person's record. In any event, his license is probably suspended and will remain that way until the warrant is dealt with. It is possible, however, that the case can be won at trial, or that he may be able to get probation and avoid jail altogehter.
