Attorneys Being asked for Power of Attorney
by Joe Griffin 19 Mar '26

19 Mar '26

I wonder if anyone has had opposing counsel, or anyone, *require of them a POA in order to discuss a client's case*. This has happened to me mostly when dealing with non-lawyers, who don't understand that a POA allows anyone to act on behalf of someone else without being an attorney. But, I've recently gotten such a demand from a deputy general counsel for a city agency. My feeling has always been that I dislike executing unnecessary forms, or imposing needlessly upon clients' time, and that the demand for a POA creates an unnecessary delay, and that if I file suit, I will appear in court where in some thousands of appearances no judge has ever asked for my bona fides as an attorney, let alone a POA, and that a POA is quite simply not appropriate for legal counsel. I also know from a few hundred depositions on behalf of plaintiffs that no defense lawyer would ever agree to turn over their retainer, given that even valid questions they interpret as invading the client-attorney relationship have always, in every jurisdiction and venue, from federal civil rights to sidewalk trip and falls, always resulted in a refusal to answer such questions, let alone disclose any documents. That seems, to me, analogous, so, I wonder what others think about the demand for a POA that I do not need, and how you have responded if you ever got such a demand.
