Local Counsel in Pittsburgh
A Reliable Partner with a Tradition of Results
Robleto Kuruce can serve as local counsel for matters in local state and federal courts including the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The Local Rules for the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas and others located in the greater Pittsburgh area and throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, require that all pleadings filed on behalf of a client be signed by a member in good standing of the bar of that court. Admissions pro hac vice are permitted for out-of-state lawyers, but most courts require that local attorney be included on all pleadings and be present at hearings.
The Value of Experienced Local Counsel in Pittsburgh
It is often false economy to not engage experienced local counsel. The expense and inconvenience of travel for routine hearings is rarely justifiable. Typically, courts allow out of town lawyers to participate in many proceedings remotely with local counsel appearing in the courtroom. Bankruptcy cases, particularly complex chapter 11 bankruptcy matters, may involve numerous proceedings at which your clients should be represented. Many hearings may not justify the presence of lead counsel when there is already a reliable lawyer in Pittsburgh prepared to appear and represent a client’s interest.
