As the party to the case it is your right to appear without your attorney present. However I would urge you to attempt to contact the attorney in order to ensure all parties are on the same page. if it is simply impossible explain the circumstances to the court and you can request a continuation. Good luck and thank you for coming to our site. Feel free to post again!
