Yeah… I have no clue how to find an attorney , wouldn’t know what to ask if I found them, and no idea how to learn. It’s black magic all the way down.

I was giving a friend advice on this the other day TLDR: just start calling attorneys, ask if they do field X, and if not, ask who they recommend in field X iterate the latter (ones who don't) are actually more useful; you want to tap into the pagerank algo to climb hills

I live in the middle of nowhere. How wide a radius should I be drawing for that sort of search? (Near edge of civilization is around 100 miles away from our town.)

not sure where you live, but look on a map and note that I live 30 min west of Manchester NH I called lawyers in the 3 towns near me, and that quickly redirected me into calling in the two nearest cities (Manchester & Concord) When I got 3 people all giving me 1 name in Concord

The bustling metropolis of Ridgecrest, CA. Separated from Bakersfield by two hours and Los Angeles by three. Little but trackless desert before you hit their exurbs.

I did the variation of this where I called the lawyers I'm related to and said "I need a guy for X. Who do you recommend that's not you?"
