Does anyone know if... you file case in Federal court can an attorney from another state represent you? ?

I have a case filed in Arizona Federal Court and want to know if I can seek representation from other states... does my attorney have to be practicing in Arizona?





Thanks!!Does anyone know if... you file case in Federal court can an attorney from another state represent you? ?
An attorney must be admitted to the bar of each Federal Court individually. Usually, that is a matter of paying a small fee, getting a certificate from the local bar attesting to the fact that he/she is in good standing and sending it in. Some courts require a sponsor that is already a member of the bar of that court.





You can consult out of state attorneys but they would need to become admitted to the court in Arizona.Does anyone know if... you file case in Federal court can an attorney from another state represent you? ?
you can if the person you want has a license to practice in that state.





he may have associate that he or she work with in that state
