Flow - Just wanted to chime in.

Re: attny

Be sure to interview/meet with more than one. You mentioned April 9th is when you have an appointment with one. What about meeting with someone else before then? Then you can compare notes.

Also - The hourly rate you have been given seems reasonable.
Retainer amounts can very from location to location. In my area $2,500-$3,500 (USD)is about average. However, I do know a DBer who paid a $7,500 retainer, which is about average in his area.

In my sitch I have spoken to a couple of L's. I know who I will retain when the time comes. Meeting with the L's was a painful process because it made my sitch seem so much more real. At the same time, it was a relief to know that someone is lined up to fight for me.

This is the part of your sitch that you need to treat in a business like manner.
