  • 1.  Motion to Dismiss/Florida

    Posted 06-17-2016 10:36 AM
    Hello:
     
    I'm trying to file a motion to dismiss in Florida (Broward County) for lack of personal jurisdiction. Florida court staff has been saying the *only* way to file is through their e-filing portal.  Problem is their e-filing portal only offers 2 roles to attorneys: pro hac vice or Florida Bar attorney.  
     
    I'm concerned that filing as a pro hac vice attorney might later be interpreted as a general and not special appearance.
     
    All thoughts or comments appreciated.
     
    Thanks,
    Bill
