A: You attend the hearing and testify if asked to do so. Otherwise, leave it up to your attorney.

A: I agree with Attorney Thorgaard that you have an attorney who is handling this for you. It is difficult to have patience with the procedural issues in the legal system; however, if the court said that the matter requires an evidentiary hearing, then your attorney will know how to handle this and can discuss the issue with you.
