Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

My son has just received a criminal summons in the mail for assault. He no longer lives in the state of the summons. This was a planned move, and his relocation has nothing to do with this incident. He is willing to "face the music" so to speak. However, the question is can this be handled by phone, or mail, etc, without him having to come back from where he currently lives now?

No. But his attorney may appear without at certain stages.

I have had good luck in certain courts without the client being present. Of bourse, having an attorney is a must to attempt this. Visit kliszlaw.com to get started. Tim Klisz
