Using this thread as my primary source, I have determined that 100% of attorneys/washed up former attorneys mention Judaism in the interview process, with a 50% success rate.

As someone who just got most of my 2018 CLEs done by attending an ABA forum, I'm hopping on the "CLEs are great" train. Got to hear from some interesting, accomplished people and also the guy who called David Souter a child molesting goat fucker on twitter.

So given that they’re trying to put the death penalty on the table for drug dealers and possession with intent to distribute is like 5 grams or heroin, or 2 days worth of supply for an addict, how many overdose deaths are we going to see before they throw in the towel? Or! Drug dealers get into a race to the bottom for the most potent stuff where they use stuff where micrograms will kill you.

I'm looking for a lawyer that can provide an opinion on the feasibility of having a location my business is considering leasing re-zoned. Should any local commercial real estate attorney be able to handle this or should I be looking for some specialization or pedigree?

Try a commercial real estate attorney, and even if he/she doesn't do land use, he/she would be the best source for a recommendation.

Thanks for the quick answers. Any suggestions on finding an attorney that deals with smaller organizations? I live just outside a major city and it's easy to find the heavy hitters in any particular field of law but harder to know who would bother with a smaller operation like mine. Should I just cold email until someone is either nice enough to recommend me elsewhere or take me on?

Contact the bar association in the major city you live near. Or the county you live in.

If you know any local lawyers who don’t work in that area, ask them if they know anyone/can get a rec. I regularly get “hey does anyone know someone who does X law?” emails from other lawyers.

Thanks for the all the great suggestions. This may be harder to answer but should I be looking to get a few opinions on applying for a zoning variance before pulling the trigger? I'm slightly worried about someone taking me for a few grand in billable hours to file the variance request when they know it has no shot. Is this just a reality I have to accept or can I be smart here by playing the field a little bit?

If they take your case and they know there’s no chance, you file a bar complaint. Most attorneys aren’t going to give you free advice because that’s what they get paid for.

Applying for a variance, or rezoning application is 1000% crapshoot the depends on neighborhood, the city, the city council, who's on the city council, what their plans for that area are for the future, who you know, how well you presented your case, and a whole bunch of other poo poo. So if you want to get an idea of your chances before investing in an attorney, you can call the city and ask the Planning & Development department what the odds of success would be and get a pretty good idea of your chances. For minor, technical things, city council is 99% of the time going to do what staff recommends in the end, but there is a huge gap between knowing your chances and knowing how to make it happen.

Leading questions only (This is the most important tip) Actually listen to what the witness is saying and don't just look at your notes Know your rules of evidence Know what elements the prosecutor needs to make to convict Know what foundation the prosecutor needs to make to get in the important evidence Make sure the prosecutor isn't leading the witness Object object object Don't stipulate to anything Read the police report closely Practice your impeachment foundation

Yeah I'm definitely sensitive to the fact I'm toeing the line on asking someone to do their job for free. Our realtor was able to give us a little bit of insight to how the city may respond but I have a contact with the city I can try to use to directly speak with the variance board. Thanks for the help!
