Internet Lawyer Location

As an Internet lawyer, I get asked all the time about our location and the need of a client to find someone local. First of all, the odds of finding a local Internet lawyer expert are exceptionally low. Second, who knows where your issue will end up? There are many different places you could end up in Court, for instance. Third, 95% of legal disputes get resolved by a good Internet lawyer without the need for litigation and court action, so he can be located anywhere. Fourth, the odds are high that the lawyer for the other side, be it a General Counsel or a lawyer outside of the business, is not located near you. Forget about geographic lines in today's world. The Courts have a way of allowing lawyers from other states to appear in Courts in states all over the country. It is called admission "pro hac vice". Find the best Internet lawyer, discuss your unique situation with him, and see if what I just said makes sense for you.
