Q:   Can a Criminal lawyer take on a Time sharing case?  The person seeking representation had previous charges filled against the father for domestic violence.


A:  Selected as “Best Answer” by Asker!

Locally licensed lawyer

For questions involving state laws, lawyers who are licensed in the same state as the asker are often able to provide more relevant answers than out-of-state lawyers.

For questions involving federal laws (e.g., immigration or patents), this distinction is unimportant.

Answered . Lawyers are licensed (in FL anyhow) to practice law. They are not restricted as to any particular area of the law by the Bar, only by their own decision and respect for their own limitations. For example, I am a criminal defense lawyer and do not engage in practicing any other legal work whatsoever. I can, technically, but I do not. Why? Because not withstanding 22 years of litigation experience it would be malpractice for me to take on a transactional real estate matter (I get hives just typing that…). That said, if a given lawyer is comfortable in handling a given matter then, so long as s/he is not disbarred, s/he will generally not be restricted from doing so.
First, second and third: No attorney-client relationship exists by virtue of any Q&A with Michael A. Haber, Esq. on Avvo. Fourth: Anything that you post on Avvo (or on similar sites) or on any social media is by its nature public. It is essentially an admission / confession and can be introduced into evidence as a statement against your interest in a subsequent legal proceeding. Once posted you lose any reasonable expectation of privacy, so, as this is an open forum (with no privilege attached), please be extra careful when considering what to post online (forewarned is forearmed.)
