Washington, DC asked in Personal Injury and Car Accidents for Virginia

Q: Can I have an out of state attorney for a car accident?

I have been struck twice at no fault of Mine and the defendants are lying so the case is tough and local virginia attorneys are....disappointing to Me. I need representation and thus case is super important. Can I ask out if state or atleast gain some legal aid for personal injury???

A: yes, sure, you should get right attorney for your case, no matter where you live. If you find an attorney not licensed in VA that attorney may need to associate with VA counsel, but you have the right to look anywhere.
