Well, I was referred to a few lawyers down there. I was warned away from a few others. The first one I called, the one that I was told by several people was the absolute best one in the area, but also wouldn't overcharge me, well - that must be the one my wife has, as they told me on the phone "we have a conflict." That's all they would say, but I think that was enough.
The second law firm said they didn't do anything if kids are involved. The third one (with a pretty good reccomendation) said they would consult with me on the phone in two weeks, but that they would need a 4000 dollar retainer if they took the case (they said any excess would be refunded, but at 200 bucks and hour, I may have to pay more). I don't havce 4000 bucks handy, but I have paid off more than that in credit card debt this summer, so I guess I'll just go back to where I was when this all started.
