Assistance in Becoming a Licensed Attorney in Florida
Officially, all lawyers are welcome to pursue licensing in Florida. Unofficially, legal licensing for out-of-state attorneys in Florida is a very difficult process. Skeptical applicants may feel that the process represents the state’s preference towards in-state lawyers and its reluctance to license attorneys living and practicing in other states.
Despite the difficulties of becoming licensed in Florida while living and practicing in another state, licensure can be achieved through proper preparation and advanced knowledge of challenges. At the Columbus, Ohio, law firm of Stein, Chapin & Associates, LLC, attorneys David Stein and Lance Chapin became licensed in Florida in 2005 while living and practicing primarily in Ohio. We can help you manage the licensure process and work to help you obtain a license to practice law in Florida.

Florida's licensure process for out-of-state attorneys hinges on both a bar exam and a background investigation. We can share our experiences of the interview process, share information on how to present yourself to the licensing board and coach you regarding what the panel wants to hear from out-of-state attorneys. We can walk you through the entire process to greatly enhance your chances of being approved on your initial application. The presence of a Florida-licensed attorney also sends a message to the licensing board that you are serious about your licensure pursuit.
