As long as arrangements are made beforehand, almost all judges will accommodate military personnel serving out-of-state, by allowing them to attend hearings telephonically. However, if testimony will be offered, you will most likely need to have a notary available to administer a oath.
If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.
The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.
An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.
If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area, I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. The main office is in Dunedin, with a satellite location in Tampa.
Feel free to Google me.
