Hire a lawyer, who can appear on your behalf if it is a misdemeanor.

You can either hire a lawyer to appear for you or go the day before and advance the case.

You must be present in court. If you are not present a warrant will be issued. If the case is a misdemeanor you can retain an attorney who may appear on your behalf. Given you are pro per I do not know if you can advance a case. You need to go to court in advance and see if this is possible. Do not call the court-nothing can be done over the telephone. Also you must appear in advance to see if you can have the case heard earlier.
