Appearance Report in 1 Bus Day

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.

Virtual Appearance Services

California Courts have mostly transitioned to virtual appearances and hearings in lieu of in-person court appearances. Depositions are being conducted remotely using Zoom or Skype. This is the new normal and we believe these types of appearances are here to stay for good in some form or manner. If you have scheduling issues or are unable to attend your virtual appearance, a special appearance attorney can help.

Court Appearance Services

Appearance Counsel can assist you with any "in person" or "virtual" court appearance on your calendar. Counsel will review your assignment and confirm acceptance or contact you with any further questions.

Deposition Services

A special appearance attorney can handle your deposition appearance and assignment. Whether it be an "in person" or "virtual" deposition. Attorneys are available to both "conduct" or "defend" any deposition you assign. For best results, submit your assignment with more then 24 hours notice.

Legal Research & Document Preparation

Instead of spending valuable time doing basic legal research and document preparation, delegate and outsource these task to another attorney who can get the job done quickly and professionally. Legal research, motion preparation, brief writing, and more.

Refer A Case

Have a client with a good case, and aren't able to handle it yourself? Instead of turning it down, refer your case over and we will automatically send it to our large network of attorneys. An attorney will review and contact you for further details. If accepted, the attorney can agree to provide you with a referral fee, subject to any state and local ethical requirements. We will charge you a $100 connectors fee once the connection is made.

Law Firm Directory

Growing your practice requires online presence and broad exposure. A website is an important piece of the puzzle. In addition to your content, you will need backlinks from other legal industry websites. If you are interested in receiving a backlink from one of our websites, email us.

What is a Special Appearance Attorney?

What is a Special Appearance Attorney?

If an attorney cannot make an appearance at a scheduled court appearance, they can receive help from a special appearance attorney. The help from the attorney is provided on a short-term basis and is able to stand in for the attorney during a hearing. A special appearance attorney can attend the hearings in place of the general attorney for the case for a number of reasons, including scheduling conflict, personal conflicts, and more.

If you have any issue making it to a scheduled court hearing, instead of asking for the hearing to be delayed and risking the judge turning down this request, it is possible to have a special appearance attorney handle the hearing in your stead. This way, the case continues to progress, but you can handle the other issues at hand.
