Answer

Yes, but your attorney will need to introduce evidence. If you intend to rely only on the evidence presented by the other side, then your attorney should be able to handle it. However, your attorney will have a difficult time entering evidence without either you or some other witness on your behalf. While possible, this is not advisable.
