FAQ

Can Lawyers Practice in Any State? The short answer to this question is no – just because you are licensed to practice law in one state does not mean you can practice law in any state. Most areas of the law, such as personal injury law or family law, have state-specific rules and requirements.

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.

Pro Hac Vice Admission 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.

Yes you can hire a lawyer in any state even if you don't reside there. However, the lawyer where the case is filed has to be licensed in that same state.

There are websites, including LegalMatch, that provide a person with a wealth of information about lawyers in any location in the United States. In order to hire a lawyer in another state, a person should simply contact the lawyer and discuss their case and the issues it presents.

The Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) is a six-hour, 200-question multiple-choice examination developed by NCBE and administered by user jurisdictions as part of the bar examination on the last Wednesday in February and the last Wednesday in July of each year.

The process in Texas is not based on reciprocity with other jurisdictions. Attorneys meeting the requirements may apply for admission.

For the most part, yes—it's entirely possible to work from anywhere as a lawyer. Many lawyers and law firms around the world are already operating on a fully or partially remote basis. Depending on your practice area, you may still need to go to court or meet clients in person, which does impact your remote work plans.

In the US, it's incredibly easy. Visit the website of the state bar association where you are located and perform an attorney search. If the person is admitted to the bar of that state, their name and bar ID number will appear, along with an indication that the person is in good standing.
