Attorney of Record

The attorney who is legally representing a client. Their term as the client’s attorney generally starts either by filing a Notice of Appearance or Substitution of Counsel. The attorney of record and is recognized on the docket through the Clerk of the Court as the responsible attorney. An attorney cannot file documents on a client’s behalf or represent the client at a hearing if the attorney has not filed a Notice of Appearance with the Court and is not listed as the attorney of record. Once they become the attorney of record, all filings made on the client’s behalf must go through the attorney of record, and the Court and opposing counsel must communicate with the attorney of record and not directly with the client.
