Absolutely, no problem. But keep in mind that many attorneys charge for travel time.

Yes, your attorney from Westchester can represent you in Dutchess. Happens all the time.

Attorneys are admited to practice in the State, not County by County, so as long as your attorney is admitted in NY he can represent you.
