No. Modern legal practices rely heavily on technology—emails, video calls, electronic signatures, and remote court appearances. California courts, in particular, have embraced remote hearings. Because most identity theft cases settle without going to trial, chances are you’ll never need to set foot in a courthouse. With digital tools, your attorney can represent you effectively from anywhere in the state.
