Interestingly a lot of the traditional answers for "Who is the right person?" are disastrously wrong. For example, you might think "Ah, I am going into a high-dollar transaction in Silicon Valley. I should get a lawyer." *Almost all lawyers* are not going to be effective for you.

It's also really difficult to evaluate expertise, because substantially all comments on e.g. Hacker News about raising a Series A round look the same. Some of them have rather little entanglement with reality. Some are from world's leading practitioners (from multiple angles).
