Scheduling can be an issue for any attorney. When the courts schedule a hearing, they don’t always schedule it at a time that’s 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 there’s an emergency, and you can’t 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.
