How Can We Practice Law in All 50 States?
Pro Hac Vice Process
In the United States court system, there’s a legal rule called Pro Hac Vice, which allows a lawyer to work on a case in a state where they’re not licensed to practice law. We use the Pro Hac Vice process whenever one of our clients outside of Arizona needs us to defend them in a criminal trial. In addition, we have never been denied Pro Hac Vice, so you can rest assured we will be able to defend your rights and freedom, no matter where you live in the United States.
Your 6th Amendment Right
According to the 6th Amendment in the US Constitution, people have the right to choose their own legal counsel. State courts cannot stop lawyers in other states from representing their clients in a court outside the area an attorney is licensed in, because that would give an advantage to local lawyers.
“You have the right under the Sixth Amendment to legal counsel of your choice.”
How We Select the Best Local Counsel for Your Case
Client Preferences: Our clients can suggest local lawyers they know and trust or have used before. If they don’t have a preferred local lawyer, our criminal defense attorneys will choose the best local lawyer for them.
Evaluating Local Counsel: When our attorneys look for a local lawyer to help with your case, they prioritize finding only experienced criminal defense lawyers who support the Second Amendment, are Pro-Freedom, and know self-defense laws. Usually, we can tell within ten minutes of talking to a criminal defense attorney, if they are the right person to work with us. Believe it or not, we prefer to select your local counsel. Having the best local counsel helps us tremendously, as they are familiar with local laws, judges, and prosecutors. Their knowledge can play a big role in the outcome of your case.
“We want somebody who’s Pro Second Amendment, somebody who feels the way we feel about the right of self-defense, somebody who’s Pro Freedom, and somebody who aligns nicely with the values that we bring to the case."
Availability and Commitment: It’s really important to make sure the local lawyer chosen can be there for the whole case. Even if a client suggests a local lawyer they like, our attorneys check to see if the lawyer can actually commit to the case the entire time. This step is necessary to give ongoing and effective representation.
Why We Prioritize Selecting the Best Possible Local Counsel
Proximity and Expertise: Local attorneys offer valuable insights into the local legal community. We look for lawyers who share our values, especially those who support the Second Amendment and who are Pro-Freedom.
Selecting the Best Local Counsel: Our law firm seeks top-notch local attorneys specializing in criminal defense. Our focus is on bringing someone who can make a significant impact. This includes extensive experience in criminal defense cases, and the ability to develop a winning strategy. We strive for excellence because our goal is to win your case.
Ongoing Evaluation: The local attorney chosen for your case can be replaced if necessary. Our main goal is to provide you with the best defense possible.
Client Support: Our plan covers legal fees, including local attorneys, if the incident involves self-defense, has pending or expected charges, and happens after you sign up.
