It would be very unusual for the defendant's lawyer to be present.

It is very rare for the accused to either be present or have a defense attorney present during a grand jury hearing at all. There was a web page I read the other day pointing out that the grand jury system has become abused in this country. http://www.nacdl.org/CHAMPION/PRESPAGE/98apr.htm
