Re: Moving

You cannot transfer charges to another state. You still might be able to move (depending upon the terms of your bail or own recognizance release) but you will need to appear at court hearings.

A lawyer could appear for you if you hire one and the charges are misdemeanors. You have to be in court in person if felony is involved, at least that is the rule in California.
