FACT: In retaining an attorney or lawyer not only should you choose someone very knowledgeable about the area of law you need representation for (i.e,. not just a pharmacy law expert but a compounding pharmacy law expert or more specifically a Texas compounding pharmacy law expert) but also make absolutely certain your attorney or lawyer is licensed to practice in the jurisdiction you need them to be.

Attorneys are licensed by the states but they also must be admitted to practice before the jurisdiction in which they appear.  For example, an attorney admitted to practice in Texas state court may not be admitted to practice in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals (a federal court).  A Oklahoma licensed attorney may in fact be admitted to practice in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.  An attorney whose office is in New Mexico, but who is also admitted to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals which includes Oklahoma may not be licensed or allowed to practice in Oklahoma state courts and in fact may not be knowledgeable of Oklahoma Pharmacy Law.  The point is ask questions and understand the strengths, and limits of your attorney or lawyer.  Sad but true just because an attorney claims to be an expert in an area doesn't necessarily make it so.    Do your research.
