all posters good advice. best way to find an attorney is asking people you trust. going the state bar route should find you one that practices in that specific area of law, but might not be good for you. usually, the bar assocations just charge a small fee for the enlisted attorneys to get referrals from the general public. attorneys that advertise generally run a mill and you are just a number. ny just enacted much more stringent laws regarding advertising so this will be less of a problem in the future. also, before you engage, make sure you understand (get it in writing) what the fee structure will be, for both issues. if you find a solo practitioner, that attorney may handle both areas of law, which would make things much more simpler.
