LA Special Appearance Attorney

Special appearance attorneys are typically needed in situations where a lawyer represents a client in a specific legal proceeding without becoming fully involved in the case. Here are some common scenarios where a special appearance attorney may be required:

• Jurisdictional Issues: When an attorney is licensed in one jurisdiction but needs to appear in court in another jurisdiction, they may make a special appearance to handle specific matters without fully representing the client in the entire case.

• Limited Scope Representation: In some cases, a client may hire an attorney for a specific aspect of a case, such as a hearing or motion, without retaining them for the entire legal matter. The attorney then makes a special appearance for that limited purpose.

• Emergency Hearings: If there is an urgent or emergency situation requiring immediate legal action, an attorney may make a special appearance to address the matter promptly without providing ongoing representation.
