It depends on the court. Many courts do arraignments on certain dates and times. People may be able to show up on certain days and, assuming their bond-factors are favorable, they will receive either a cash/surety bond they could either post directly with the court or hire a bondsman to post, or some may be fortunate enough to get a "PR" or "Personal Recognizance" bond. If everything goes well, yes, it's possible to be arraigned and out on the same day. If you hire a lawyer prior to going to court, your lawyer may be able to give you specific advice and increase your odds of getting out. Some judges, though, may be a little tougher in terms of bond.

That depends upon the prosecutor and the court schedule.

In Wisconsin you may have to wait a day or even two. Have your lawyer discuss an immediate bail hearing with the DA, or the Clerk of Courts. Good Luck.

You should hire a lawyer to go to court to recall the warrant. A lawyer can do this without you present if the underlying charge is a misdemeanor, so it is less risky for you. When done right, there may be no bail at all.

You can hire a lawyer to pull the warrant and just set a court date.
