I have seen it happen a lot in Bankruptcy cases in the Middle District of Pennsylvania. There are some times when an attorney can't be at two places at one time and it is impossible to get a continuance for a hearing.
It is generally more likely to happen at a larger law firm. It is my feeling that a lot of the partners at such firms are mere "talking heads" and that most of the work gets done by junior partners and associate attorneys. The senior partners seem to only want to handle the high profile cases or be in court when the people with the big bucks are there.

Yes, they can do that without your permission. The attorney could get in to a lot of trouble himself for not showing up in court, so they have some one stand in for them. I am not sure of what you mean by, had a warrant issued.

I'm not at all positive but my guess is that, GENERALLY, it's ok. Clearly, however, your friend must discuss this with his attorney to get it straightened out.
