You do not have to use a local lawyer for your case, but it may be best, especially if you need representation for custody or a case involving the violation of a city or state law. A local lawyer is usually more knowledgeable about the laws in your state and can use that knowledge to mount a strong case. In fact, they may have already dealt with cases like yours and know how best to approach the situation.
Out-of-state attorneys may be a practical option for individuals taking part in a nationwide case, such as a class action lawsuit. Most attorneys are not licensed to practice law in all 50 states, so keep that in mind before making your decision. Ultimately, choose a lawyer that you feel best represents your interests, wherever they may be.
