If you failed to appear in court, or failed to complete a requirement of your probation, or failed to pay your fines, a judge is likely to have issued a bench warrant. If a bench warrant is issued, law enforcement is authorized to arrest you and bring you before the judge. Courts deal with warrants in different ways. Depending on the judge, you may be released with a a warning, or taken into custody.

My minimum fee to appear on a warrant is $500. This applies to infractions and traffic tickets. I charge $1,000 for misdemenaor probation violations, $1,500 for misdemenaor cases, $2,500 for felony cases. This includes recalling the warrant and addressing any issues with the court. These fees apply to over 90% of my cases.
In most cases, no. However, if the case is a felony, an appearance will be required.
Mr. Dicus can typically appear in court within a day or two. Because the appearance date has usually come and gone, warrants hearings can be scheduled each morning. There are some exceptions. For example, Riverside County requires the misdemeanor warrants be calendared out about 1-2 weeks.
