Yes, generally speaking for misdemeanor DUI charges a privately retained attorney can handle the court matters for their clients without their client being there.

She needs to consult with an attorney where she received the DWI to see if the court will allow an attorney to appear in her place.

Yes she can. She needs to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because she has only 10 days to save her license. As for court, a lawyer can represent her without her present.

If she hires an attorney, it can be done while she is out of state. I have represented several people who live outside California.
