If you have been on the run from court proceedings or sentencing, then you are a fugitive and the statute of limitations no longer applies. Yes, a lawyer might be able to smooth things out for you, but you will have to appear at some point.

ever hear of Roman Polanski? He has been on the run for what? 30 years?

He is still wanted and when the US can get him, he is going to prison.
