Arizona Reciprocity Arizona offers reciprocity on motion to attorneys from the following states: AK, CO, DC, GA, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, ME, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WI, and WY.
Powers of attorney may contain a termination date or continue no matter how much time has elapsed. All powers of attorney are revocable, meaning they can be cancelled. Generally, a power of attorney that was valid when executed in another state is recognized and valid in Arizona.
Currently, Arizona allows a licensed attorney from another state to be admitted to practice law in Arizona by pursuing an Admission by Motion.
In representing a client, a lawyer shall not communicate about the subject of the representation with a party the lawyer knows to be represented by another lawyer in the matter, unless the lawyer has the consent of the other lawyer or is authorized by law to do so.
The most common way an out-of-state attorney can represent you is through “pro hac vice” admission. From the Latin meaning “for this occasion,” pro hac vice admission allows a lawyer to participate in a single case in a state where they're not licensed.
Withdrawal is also permitted if the lawyer's services were misused in the past. The lawyer also may withdraw where the client insists on pursuing a repugnant or imprudent objective or one with which the lawyer has fundamental disagreement.
If your attorney's withdrawal is granted, you will need to seek new legal representation immediately. If you are facing a criminal case, it is critical to have a lawyer by your side as soon as possible.
The general rule is a lawyer can only practice law in a state court when they have been admitted to the bar of that state. An exception would be when the attorney is admitted on a pro hac vice basis, where the out-of-state lawyer can practice with an in-state attorney acting as local counsel.
An attorney may withdraw from representing a party only upon written motion for good cause shown.
