Talk to your attorney about this - if you were specifically asked to be there, you can likely appear by phone.
That said, your attorney might be able to appear on your behalf unless the judge needs to talk to you directly.

Was he in fact competent to stand trial? If not, and such incompetence contributed to the conviction, he might be able to successfully appeal. What does his attorney say?
answered on Jun 25, 2017
Unless you are to testify, probably not. Your attorney can appear for you.

I am a board member of a public charter school in FL. We are under the Sunshine Law where all meetings are open to the public. I feel this employee is not acting in the capacity of a member of the 'public' while she is at work and on the clock so we have a right to ask her to return to... View More

Yes it is possible! The government (I believe it is the DoD) would screen the application (as they do all applications) for any technology that could threaten security/safety of the public. Given your brief description, it doesn't seem to fall into that category. That said, even if there were... View More

the elderly person is not an unsafe driver, is it then statutory to review the driver yearly?
answered on Sep 13, 2016
My understanding is that once the investigator determines there is no validity to the complaint, no further action is taken or required by the elderly person. I know that if the driver is over age 80, the license renewal requires a vision test. If you have received something in the mail, certainly... View More

The law says the hearing you get depends on a weighing of what is at issue vs the cost of having a full blown administrative hearing.

The National Aeronautics and Space administration (NASA) used your mother's PHD degree to design a product? How do you mean they "used" her PHD? Was it the product she designed, they used her name in association with the product, or something else?

Because it is Social Security administrative law. My guess is the Social Security Administration doesn't have venue rules requiring that a matter be adjudicated in the state in which the applicant resides. I suggest that you contact the SSA and ask whether and how it can be transferred to... View More
Florida Highway Patrol has a statute that gives them seeming unlimited authority to do anything. But there is an admin code that states on Turnpikes and tractor trailers. Does that mean that the statute power can be used through the admin code? And only in turnpikes and with tractor trailers?
