Can a debt consolidation attorney represent me if they are not licensed to practice law in my state?

I am trying to get myself out of debt with pay day loans. I found a law office in PA that helps with this specifically. The problem is that I am in TX and I am not sure if they legally can help me. I don’t want to push the laws. Thanks in advance for any answers!

Bad credit is one of the worst problems to have… however there exists a solution.
I will hereby talk from my personal experience.
I did debt consolidation a couple of years ago, however If I had to do it again I would pay to some minor details,
if someone wants to get out of debt today it is pretty easy with a debt consolidation plan, however it may get a bit tricky at times, I suggest you get as much information as possible online on this first,
a good place to start in my humble opinion is astraight to the point ebook with question and answer I found :
if it helps kindly remember me in your voting!.. cheers!

The direct answer to you question is that an attorney can not practice law in a state that he or she is not licensed. The way they get around that is to refer you to another attorney that is practicing in your state.
Normally, however, you do not have to consult an attorney to apply for a debt consolidation loan. Usually the attorney will counsel you about filing for bankruptcy. If you need help with pay day loans you can ask for help from the attorney general of your state. Look in government listings of your phone book.
If you are looking for a debt consolidation loan or advice on debt consolidation, I have included some resources.
