This is a law license reciprocity issue and Florida has no reciprocity with anybody. They claim their state specific test questions are the reason, but I think it's just the Florida Bar Association putting a fence around a state with a growing business environment in order to drive higher fees.
This also means Florida lawyers cannot get a license in other UBE -- universal bar exam -- states to practice law.
The practical way around this -- as in every state -- is to form an affiliation with a licensed lawyer in that state and conduct your business under his license. It is not really the hurdle it might seem to be.
