I am trying to find an ERISA attorney in or close to Shirley NY for a client of mine. This is to handle a beneficiary related matter for a QP.

Any recommendations/suggestions?

Thanks

Tell Shirley to fly to Phoenix. Then I can recommend a good lawyer.

LOL

Hey, maybe that lawyer is licensed to practice in NY?

AbbyP, does geography matter to the client you're thinking of? If the work is about advice-giving rather than a court appearance, a lawyer who is admitted in the State in which he or she is physically located usually may give advice to a client that happens to reside, or have some physical presence, in a different State. A few clients prefer a lawyer's physical presence in the room, but many clients are content with a telephone conversation (and some prefer it). And for many businesspeople, exchanging writings by e-mail is common (and often preferred).

So maybe Blinky could be available after all?

No it does not. Thanks for letting me know about that rule. I used to work for a Large corporation that alwasy used a 'local attorney, when they needed legal representation with a client, so I ( obviously mistakenly) assumed that that was a requirement.

Whaddya say blink?
