Unauthorized Practice of Law

It is unlawful for any person to practice law or to engage in the law business or in any manner whatsoever to lead others to believe that he is authorized to practice law or to engage in the law business or in any manner whatsoever to represent or designate himself as an attorney and counselor, attorney at law or lawyer unless the person so doing is regularly licensed and authorized to practice law in Guam.

On the conditions set forth in § 9A216 of this Chapter, this Section does not apply to a foreign attorney who is duly licensed and authorized to practice law in another state or territory or the District of Columbia while temporarily in Guam and engaged in a particular matter.
