Lawyers are permitted to represent clients in lawsuits outside of the state in which a lawyer is licensed to practice law. This is accomplished through a "pro hac vice" motion or application [pronounced pro hock veechee], and requires the assistance of a lawyer (called "local counsel") licensed in the outside state. This video gives a short history and a brief explanation of how lawyers are being hired to represent clients in lawsuits brought in states other than the lawyer's state of licensure. I have represented clients in litigation in various states through this pro hac vice process.

  • @DeborahADugger62 - If your house was sold, it may have been sold improperly, and a recent case in non-judicial foreclosure state Massachusetts invalidated two sales by banks (highest court in Mass, unanimously). You may have an action for a wrongful foreclosure and if the bank still holds the property you might be able to get it back. Please give me a call to discuss this, but first look at my video # 47
