Court appearance attorneys are the first help when the time is of the essence. An unexpected phone call may ruin all your plans, or things may be so tough that traveling to the courthouse and back might be the last thing you can handle.
The situations when court appearance attorney can be helpful are numerous. Here are some of them.
Update the Judge on the Case Status
Sometimes you need to appear in court with the simple task of updating the judge on the case status. Appearance attorney can handle such matters most efficiently as they may be closer to the courthouse or have more free time.
Confer with the Opposing Party
An attorney of record may need to confer with the opposing party, e.g., before filing a motion. The attorney of the moving party may confer with the attorney of the affected party to determine whether the motion is opposed.
You may need to confer with the opposing attorney when you schedule a hearing or set a deposition date. Many courts have adopted local rules that require the parties to cooperate in the scheduling of proceedings, including depositions. Failing to appear to such meetings may not be excused, and judges may have little patience when parties who fail to appear.
Advocate Your Position

Provide documentation
