There ya go...ask a real attorney.

you have got to be kidding me. Look up the torts

If you were really a lawyer, you would know the answer to this. Even if you were a really bad lawyer and did not know the answer off the top of you head, you would know where to find it (Hint: it is not on Yahoo Answers). But you'd have to be really bad not to know.

So you are clearly not a lawyer. Are you a troll?

You do know that you will have to pass the Bar Exam in Florida, right?

For that matter...did you pass the Bar Exam in California? I mean, I would expect that a lawyer who had passed the Bar in California would know the answer to this question. I've never taken the bar exam and I knew the answer...so I guess I'm now a lawyer in both California and Florida, right?

Hooray for me! I iz a law talker! yay!

Ask a lawyer. .

I too question is the post is from a real lawyer. Nevertheless, if you want to practice regularly in Florida, you will need to be licensed in Florida - either by sitting for the bar there, or if you have practiced law long enough in California, the State of Florida may allow reciprocity and will license you if you pay a substantial fee.

If it is just for one matter, and you have local counsel there as well, you may be able to get admission through the "pro hac vice" process. This process is usually allowed by local courts if it is for one specific case and you are not going to be practicing there regularly.

I hope that you'll go to FL and practice law without a license and get into a lot of trouble! I would call lawyers like you who help deadbeats cheat ppl vultures, but the vultures would be sorely offended. If you are so generous with other ppl's money, why don't you just let the deadbeats "pay you when they can." Nope. All the bankruptcy lawyers demand their fees up front and in full. If you are a lawyer, lmk your name so I can avoid hiring you. A lawyer asking for legal advice on yahoo answers! Now I've heard everything.

Yup. Practice away. Florida will be fortunate to have you!

No. Florida requires that you obtain a license to practice in Florida because representing people in Bankruptcy Court means and implies, giving advice on Florida exemption laws, rights to property under Florida law, etc.

The only exception is the 3 case rule, and last I looked if you move to Florida, you will be a resident and you can't do anything. Including 3 cases.

Trust me, my buddies tried. They sell property insurance now.
