California courts have no authority over criminal charges that were filed in other states, and such charges can't be transferred from one state to another. Your daughter may be eligible for a court-appointed attorney in Wisconsin; she should contact the public defender's office in the county where the charges are pending to find out whether she is. They should also be able to tell her if she needs to travel to Wisconsin in order to deal with the charges.

Good luck.
