Reading your description of meeting with L makes me a lot less fearful about it. Hopefully I can find a good Christian one like you did, it's really great that he's not pushing you forward with the D against your will. Maybe this won't be so bad for me after all.
Jon, definitely take your time to find someone who fits your personality and needs. I was fortunate that an attorney friend in my church referred me to my attorney, knowing what I value as well as the fact that I needed someone to be a voice for me when I couldn't find mine. I assure you, if/when you meet the right attorney for you, you will feel a sense of relief after meeting with them.
