When it comes to legal representation, finding the right lawyer can make all the difference. This is especially true when dealing with cases in unfamiliar locations. Legal professionals must have a thorough understanding of local practices and procedures, which is not always the case for out-of-state lawyers.

Steve talks about the importance of finding a lawyer who is comfortable and experienced in unfamiliar locations, the advantages of having a lawyer who is both likable and respectful, and how to go about co-counseling with local attorneys.

Finding the right lawyer for a case in an unfamiliar location requires thorough research and consideration. Lawyers must possess not only great litigation skills but also a likable personality and an understanding of local practices. It is important for lawyers to be honest with their clients about their level of experience and to cocounsel with local attorneys when necessary. By following these guidelines, clients can receive the best possible representation for their case.
