Help! Attorney looking to relocate to Florida-I don't know where to start
I am going to be taking the bar in Florida in July. Right now I am admitted in New York. DH gave my resume to a few recruiters.
I am at such a loss. How do I even go about finding something-and fast. I need to get down to Florida.
Same for DH-he is in technology.
We can use any advice or help!

How much experience do you have? Does FL have reciprocity with NY?
The best way for lawyers to find jobs is through legal recruiters. Definitely contact FL-based recruiters.
Good luck!

Actually, I just looked it up and apparently FL does not have reciprocity with NY.
It may be very difficult to get a job before you pass the bar exam in FL, but it is worth contacting a FL-based recruiter before you take it anyway. It just may be really difficult to get a job when you are relocating from OOS and haven't been admitted yet.
Good luck!

I was hoping you'd say real estate too! We've been down here almost 1.5 years and we will need a trustworthy real estate lawyer!
