In almost all cases, a defense attorney can appear on behalf of a Defendant throughout the Pretrial phases. This prevents the Defendant from having to take time off work and appear in Court. However, there are a few Judges who require a Defendant's presence at each and every court date. Call us to see whether your case is set in one of those Judges' courtrooms.
