Subject: Re: sort of OT - lawyers
My understanding is that it generally works the way you'd find a good doctor.

There are several ways to check doctors. Sure, I can ask my PCP. For a lawyer, that would be like asking my -retainer- lawyer, except I don't have one. Usually, I hit the internet for sites like "healthgrades" (https://www.healthgrades.com). There are a few others, and I usually cross-check between them to see if the MD is consistent across all rating entities. And is on my network (though that wouldn't be relevant seeking a lawyer).

If they had something like "lawgrades", that would be a great starting point! A quick check shows that the don't have such a site. Of course, I'd have to be free from detention to utilize such a source if it did exist. Pretty sure they don't provide laptops in jail.

It's all academic, and hopefully will remain so. But I often think of contingencies, and this one seems to defy "normal" processes. It's like I have to wing it, and hope for the best.
