Whether you have to present at a pretrial hearing depends on the specific circumstances of your case and the court's requirements. Typically, pretrial hearings involve the judge, attorneys, and sometimes the parties involved, focusing on procedural matters rather than evidence. However, if you're a party in the case or have pertinent information, you may be required to attend and possibly present information. It's best to consult with your attorney to understand your obligations.
