There are far too few good lawyers in this biz, just sharks.

I find myself agreeing with you on this one, Brad. Not mentioning any names either, but ...
A few of the above, I know farily well and are good guys. The rest I don't at all except what I've read or heard and am not overly impressed with those.
A good while back I wanted a simple but specific contract so I ran it by a few of them. Those I did all wanted an outrageous sum for the task. Each also promised the contract had to be between 30-70 pages long, with 25-plus hours of billable time attached to it, and could deliver it in three or four weeks.
Long story short: It took a bit of hunting but I ended up finding an attorney who shares my views, whose work is superior, has knowledge of the industry, and who doesn't require a mortgage loan every time he blinks. Oh and that contract took him two hours time, I got it in two or three days, and is a total of six-and-a-half pages long and exactly what I wanted.
