Can out of state DUI cases be dismissed/reduced without my appearing in court?

I was arrested for a DUI on 9-1 after refusing a breathalyzer. I was on vacation in a MN, however I live in WI (8 1/2 hrs from where I was arrested). I feel I have a good case for dismissal if I hire a lawyer. I passed my field sobriety tests and when I asked the officer that night why he pulled me over he stated, "Suspicious looking vehicle." I drive a 2012 green scion family/economy car. The complaint I received in the mail, saying the case was finally filed on 10-22, states, "The officer pulled up to the driver’s side in an attempt to speak with [me] and [I] drove off without acknowledging the officer forcing him to pull me over." This is a false statement. I truly do not believe the officer had any reason at all to pull me over. I spoke to a lawyer before being put into a holding cell who suggested I consent to a blood alcohol test at the hospital, at which I point I did. I was very polite to all of the officers that night and did exactly as I was told. I was held overnight and released the next morning with my things, my license intact and no paperwork. Leaving that morning, I was under the impression that I had not been charged with anything. I have a court date set for two weeks from now at which they say if I do not appear at, I will have more charges pressed against me. I cannot monetarily afford to make that trip right now, nor I can afford to up and leave in the middle of my fall semester. I have a clean record, driving and otherwise, and I'm a full-time student studying education. I am worried what having this on my record will do to my future teaching career. I do plan on hiring a lawyer, I just need to know what my next step is.
