Q: Can a lawyer remove a bench warrant without me having to show up in court?

When I moved out of my old house after divorcing from my husband, he held a lot of my mail from me just out of spite and I genuinely knew nothing about having a court appearance until a few days ago. Can a lawyer show up for me to lift a bench warrant or will I have to go to court myself?
