Victor Hobbs' suggestion may work, but it may not. The court may simply issue a warrant for your arrest if you don't show up. It would probably be better to consult with a criminal lawyer before the court date and consider hiring a lawyer. Most criminal lawyers give free consultations. If your case is in LA, you're welcome to call me for a free consultation. My telephone number is (310) 393-0639. Good luck.
