I am not sure. I assumed I can call back the district court few weeks
before the case and find it out. If that is not the case then I need
to give little thought on what can be done.

And how will you find that out? The defendant is under no
obligation to notify you that he will have a lawyer at the
hearing. If he's smart, he'll keep that fact to himself so
as to catch you off-balance.
