You have to have an attorney who is admitted to practice in the state where the matter takes place. If it is filed in Texas, an attorney from another state would be practicing Law without a license to appear in that matter. An attorney in that state is indispensible.
There may be elements of the particular case that make a local attorney in your home state useful, but by no means would they be indispensible.
If you use a local attorney to "translate" the out of state attorney's documents and phone calls, be advised that you will be paying two attorneys to talk to each other.

The best you can do is get an attorney you know (if applicable) recommend you an attorney from the state you're dealing with (if it's criminal).
Civil suits from multiple states might require multiple lawyers, depending on the case. It's too broad for me to give you a straight answer.

in case you will detect a lawyer it somewhat is authorized on your state and the situation state, and it somewhat is a lawyer with a solid recognition, decide for it. yet when I had to choose on, i'd particularly merely circulate with the solid lawyer who's merely a member of the bar interior the state the place the criminal artwork is going to happen particularly than to p.c.. a miles less useful lawyer by way of fact they seem to be a member of the two bars.

In my opinion, it is not necessary that you hire a lawyer from the same state, as long as the lawyer is experienced, knows the out of state rules (otherwise, he'd find out) and handles your case to your advantage.

I would suggest so. Simply put different "rules" apply in each state and it helps if you have an expert in one state to interpret for you in from an other. Example of one we deal with here for trusts, estates and will are modulars and mobile homes not only have deeds for the land but titles as well. So a lawyer in NY wouldn't have a clue about the titles but the one in Florida would.
