My birth certificate is still pending from the municipality, and I’ve received a court summons. Sadly, I can’t make it on the scheduled date due to work commitments. The case hasn’t been assigned a number yet. Can my local lawyer appear on my behalf, even without my presence?

Yes, your local lawyer can appear on your behalf even without your presence. However, they will need proper authorization from you, such as a power of attorney, to represent you legally in court.
