It will depend if the attorney is aware in bitcoin i think they will accept to be part of their services they will give option to all people who are wanting to used their services but if people is not aware in crypto currency i think they will not be interested in bitcoin.

It's great for people who want to use bitcoin as main transaction and with lawyer business will make a new opportunity for crypto trading world wide.
If only our government also support  bitcoin as well it won't be a major problem instead it will bring positive value for bitcoin globally

Mt law office accept BTC and ETH since about 3 years... nothing illegal here in Montreal, as long as you report your income, just as with fiat.

Bitcoin is slowly spreading worldwide that's why it is not surprising that payments for some of the professionals are in cryptocurrency. Since they are lawyers, they know what are the applicable laws. In my country, I don't know any professional services that accept bitcoin or ethereum but sooner or later I believe, there would be someone who would consider it as payment option. The accountants, lawyers, engineers, doctors etc. maybe would consider it. Bitcoin is not yet legal but not banned in our country so maybe when bitcoin is regulated then they would accept it.

In my personal understanding the committee only wanted the lawyers to have an additional payment method for their service as they are requiring lawyers who have received Bitcoin as payment to be converted inmediately to U.S. Dollars in order to mitigate the volatility and also the overpayment of service due to the price of Bitcoin increasing. This is a good requirement as lawyers must not be overpaid in any work because it is one of their ethical requirements as a lawyer.

The fact that lawyers accept bitcoin is good but it's just a drop in the ocean. It seems to me that this will not have any impact on the situation. The most important thing now is to launch the possibility of buying goods with bitcoins all online stores. I hope that soon it will be done. Now we see timid attempts to do it. Don't understand why this niche is still not filled.

Number of lawyers that accept bitcoin  less than 1% Because till now bitcoin not talk real market value of it but in next years you may found easy lawyer accept bitcoin all over world  

That is Why We Have to Promote and Advertise Bitcoin Throughout the World since This is Decentralized and hard To Be Trace. Eventually lawyers accepting bitcoin is not in such a great number, because we members are Helping to build the Foundation of bitcoin as Digital/Crypto Currency, to be Accepted as Payment.

I haven't had the such experience because my country is not that open about using bitcoin .
The world is changing towards bitcoin as many people are accepting it as means of payment . Many people including lawyers know the potential of bitcoin that is why they are accepting it . The jurisdictions accepting bitcoin is a very good way of promoting use of bitcoin in their country.

not guilty.

In my country many lawyers do not even know the name of bitcoin. How they can accept such a currency as their fees which they do not know anything about. May be in advanced countries where the ATM machines are installed and the lawyers better understand bitcoin and its benefits. Otherwise in third world countries it is still a dream and will be dream for coming few years.

I have friends and family that are lawyers but I never heard any of them mentioning about accepting Bitcoun or other cryptocurrencies in exchange of their services. This is probably because my country, the Philippines, has not yet totally advertised Bitcoin and so only small percentage of the population is familiar with Bitcoin.

But I believe, as Bitcoin continues it's success, the Philippines will soon know and accept Bitcoin in our economy. And sooner or later, lawyers will be now interested to accept Bitcoins in exchange of their legal services.

I am an attorney and accept all forms of cryptocurrency. Often take token as partial consideration for ICO work even. No prohibition in Illinois, California and NY
Most of the lawyers here in my country dont even know about bitcoin propoerly adopting it as a currency is absolutely a next level thing here. So just cannot imagine such a case in India anytime soon. Most of them have problems related to disposal of currency not many are accepting it to buy things of daily needs.

Because still, people don't have awareness about Bitcoin and its acceptance. If Bitcoin is legal in India then they will start accepting Bitcoin as payment for their services. I think in the country like Japan lawyers will accept Bitcoin as a payment method because Bitcoin is legal in Japan.

Nebraska Ethics Board Gives Lawyers OK to Accept Bitcoin

https://www.coindesk.com/courting-bitcoin-nebraska-ethics-board-gives-lawyers-ok-accept/

Anyone has experience with lawyers from other jurisdictions accepting BTC?

Bitcoin is not a legal here in our country but not ban therefore we could receive payments of our services thru our local exchange anytime as long as their is local wallet accounts between the clients and the provider. Paying our services thru bitcoin is a very convenient and safest way this will reduce the hassle during buying bitcoin bitcoin in the market for investment plus avoiding the transactions fees.

I think the significance of lawyers accepting BTC is that they are one of the more conservative professions. Good to know that this trend is spreading, even if slowly.
