Why do Florida residents have a difficult time finding an attorney?

Specifically the Maralago property manager. And before that the valet.

1. Because it would involve being in Florida?

2. Because attorneys want to get paid

And word on the street is the Insurrectionist doesn't pay his debts.

So here's a quandary, which is better?

Representing yourself in a court case involving tRump, or

Having a tRump attorney represent you?

6. I think more than the money problem (the super PAC paid some of that attorney fees),

it's the fact that you have to lie for them in order to get the job and eventually get your law license revoked. It's literally a career ending move for a few of them.

3. Think on this for a second...

Two people most directly involved in a former President's hiding Federal documents have to se the judge with court appointed attorneys.

This what we can get when half the voting population is bunch of semi literate assholes.

And Fox is proud of it.

4. 3rd most populated state is ranked 23rd in total number of lawyers, so fewer per capita?

Pretty sure that residents can get a lawyer. This is likely another delay tactic. Or Trump's become toxic to the legal system.

Anyway, let them get court appointed lawyers.

5. Lax regulations translate to less business for lawyers

7. I would think the opposite would be true.

I would assume that lax regulations would mean more lawsuits, since with fewer government imposed guard rails private businesses would be more likely to screw people over.

For instance: lax regulations regarding amusement park rides would mean more injuries, thus more lawsuits. Lax safety regulations in construction would mean more work related accidents, also more lawsuits. And so on...

8. Here's the actual answer:

Florida has unique laws regarding what constitutes an acceptable lawyer. Most States allow a lawyer accredited in another State to "waive in" and represent a client before their Courts. Florida requires you to have passed the Bar IN Florida and have your legal practice located there.

9. Not all Florida residents. Depends on the case, client, etc.

Simplest answer: if you were a lawyer and you were asked to take on the representation of Trump or any of his co-defendants, would you do so?

Looking at the down sides: a time consuming case that may be out of many attorneys wheelhouse with the possibility of alienating other clients.

10. What law firm wants to be the loser in the trial of the century?

[LiberalFighter]

11. Should promote that more.

[FSogol]

12. It is just part of Trumpy's delay strategy. Next will be: a dog ate our legal briefs.
