Subject: Re: sort of OT - lawyers
You're probably best off calling whoever you're closest to that's not in jail with you, like a relative or a close friend, and explain your situation and ask them to do some research and find you a good lawyer.

As a follow-up, how does one determine that? Google reviews? That was facetious, but it might be interesting if that was correct. Is there a resource for determining the quality of a lawyer, and whether they are appropriate to my situation (should I find myself picked up for something)? I use the judge ratings of their peers to determine which judges I vote for, for example.
