How Amazon Sellers Can Respond to Lawsuits & Resolve Litigation – Pro Hac Vice Admission
An Amazon seller asked me a question about helping them, even though they’re in a state where I don’t practice law…. so how do we do that?
Well, first of all, between me, my team and the lawyers that we work with regularly, we’re admitted in New York, the Eastern District of New York, the Southern District of New York, Virginia, Florida, the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago, Washington state and the federal court in Seattle.
Now, if we have cases in other venues, what we can do is we can associate with local counsel and they really handle the ministerial parts of the case and we handle the Amazon-specific areas of the case.
Or we can apply for what’s called, ‘pro hac vice admission’ into that court. It basically means, “court, let me practice law for this one case”.
So if you’re an Amazon seller located someplace other than New York, Chicago, Florida, Washington, Virginia, Washington, DC, and you need help, contact us.
We’re most likely able to either get admitted to practice in your state or your particular courthouse, or we work with lawyers all over the country to make sure we can continuously help you with whatever issue you’re facing.
