You cannot speak on behalf of another person in a court proceeding unless you are an attorney. Therefore, she needs to have a lawyer represent her if she cannot represent herself. However, she can also sign a power of attorney giving you the legal authorization to make decisions on her behalf, so the attorney can speak with you rather than with her.
