"Costs alone are not the only good reason why it sometimes pays to hire local counsel. Sometimes, an out-of-state lawyer can present a distraction to a court, which might not reflect well on a client."
"Clients might build strong relationships with their counsel over a long time, and clients might not trust other attorneys to provide the same work quality that their trusted lawyers can provide. However, in certain instances, it might be better for clients to hire local counsel than to have their trusted counsel travel to distant locations, especially if counsel is not familiar with the jurisdiction in which they are to provide services."
