With the defendant?
Why would it be? My clients have busy lives and careers so they would rather NOT attend court unless it was absolutely necessary. I can't imagine why a defendant would WANT to be in court on an unnecessary appearance except maybe someone just sitting in jail and wants a field trip. If you don't want to be in jail then bond yourself out and, if you can't, ask your attorney about the possibility of a bond reduction.
Short answer: no, what you describe is not illegal nor is it unethical.

Employer law
I have worked with a contractor as an assistant and have not been paid for over 30 days. I do not work with him anymore and he is trying to say that i need to copmlete touchups on houses where he paid me hourly. He says that he will take money away and he has already not paid me for other work we did with centex home where he was paid in full and did not pay me in full when he was. Need to know if i can sue him for money owed and interest, and collection attempts. No contract was signed but an oral agreement was made for 16.00 dollars and hour.
