1 Lawyer Answer

A: Contact the court clerk to ask that your case be put on the court's calendar at the next available date. Unless you hire a private attorney, you will have to appear in court at that time, unless the court allows video appearances. Ask the clerk. With an active bench warrant, you are subject to arrest until the warrant is recalled when the court next hears your case. Good luck.
