A Pennsylvania Entry of Appearance is a legal document that is filed in the state of Pennsylvania when a lawyer or law firm agrees to represent a party in a legal matter. The document is used to inform the court that the attorney or law firm has accepted the legal representation and will be appearing before the court on behalf of the client. There are two types of Pennsylvania Entry of Appearance: Limited Entry of Appearance and General Entry of Appearance. A Limited Entry of Appearance is filed when an attorney is representing a client in a specific legal matter, such as a particular lawsuit or criminal case. A General Entry of Appearance is filed when an attorney or law firm is representing a client in all legal matters related to a particular court. Once a Pennsylvania Entry of Appearance is filed, the attorney or law firm is listed in the court records as the attorney of record and can appear in court on behalf of the client.
