It sounds like there is a lack of communications between you and your attorney. You should contact that attorney and try to a) quash the warrant and b) resolve the lack of communication between you and your attorney.

good luck

Mr. Bhatt's answer is the best choice-I agree. However, if find out for sure that your atty billed you but did not appear, but keeps claiming he did, remind the atty about tha bar assn's grievance committee, malpractice, etc. Also, utilize that info with the Court to quash the warrant.
