Q: What happens when a Judge calls in sick the day of trial? Does another motion for trial have to be filed?
A:
Yes. If you are representing yourself, you are in for a rude awakening. It is not "rocket science" but there are MANY rules and you will not be familiar with any of them, nor will you understand how to write the Proposed Decision. People come to us all the time asking us to represent them on Review after they lose a Hearing at the Commission. Oftentimes, the damage cannot be undone. If this is important to you or your family, do not go this alone. At least make an attorney explain what he can do for you.
