I'm hoping that the forum lawyers and other forum legal 'experts' can help me out.
From my experience, when picking a lawyer for any purpose, it seems beneficial to select one who practices in the area where the case may be heard...for familiarity with Judges, other attorneys, court staff, etc.
Obviously, expertise is paramount, but in selecting a lawyer for a gun related issue, what do folks think about this aspect of selection?
Does it not matter much, or would lack of professional recognition within the local area, repesent a disadvantage to a lawyer coming from a different 'jurisdiction' in trying any particular case.
In other words, purely as an example, would a lawyer from northern or western MA be at a disadvantage trying a case on the Cape?
How should a gun owner evaluate location in selecting a gun rights attorney?
