Maryland
I'm wondering if there's a possibility to have a criminal case transferred to another court within the same state? I just received my convocation, and it will take place at 9 in the morning, 3 hours away from where I live. I wouldn't mind waking up early that day, but I would like to get a local lawyer, and if I have to drive 6 hours each time I need to see him, it will be problematic. Can I ask for a transfer of the case? If it is possible, is it wise to do so? Can I make the request myself, or should I first hire an attorney where I live?
