I have a question for the LawFags. How can a lawyer like Avenatti or Katz or Allred or Allred's opportunistic daughter or any other one, for that matter, represent out of state clients in matters that occurred in jurisdictions where the lawyer is not licensed? In other words, don't the clients have to be domiciled in the state where the lawyer is licensed to be legal clients of the lawyer? This has always bugged me, especially when the biggest asshole lawyers jump on a plane to represent a "client" who lives halfway across the country. I always thought a lawyer could lawfully practice law in only the states in which the lawyer has an active license.
Thank you for clarifying.
