Scheduling can be an issue for any attorney. When the courts schedule a hearing, they dont always schedule it at a time thats convenient for the attorneys handling the case. In some cases, a hearing can be scheduled for the same time the attorney needs to handle a different hearing for another client. When this happens, one of the easiest ways to avoid the scheduling conflict and make sure the hearings are attended is to have a special appearance attorney attend one of the hearings. A special appearance attorney can be used in other instances as well, such as when theres an emergency, and you cant attend court or when the hearing is in a distant location, and you do not have the time or ability to show up in person.
Court appearance attorneys are assigned to handle court proceedings and legal matters for law firms and attorneys throughout the state. Freelance court appearance attorneys are a specific type of appearance counsel who regularly appear in a particular county, court or Judge on certain days of the week.
