Anyone know a business law lawyer that could give me a free/cheap consultation?

Looking into starting a business, but need to find out the legality of something. If everything goes as I hope, I’ll have no problem going through this person for the paperwork and such, but since the legality really is 50/50, I don’t want to invest a large some of money for nothing. I’ve found a couple of “free consultation” firms in the YellowPages, but if someone knows someone, I’ll shoot the business their way.

What aspect of business law? There are MANY different types of business lawyers.

I’m not sure what specifically it would fall under. Essentially, the business in question might not even be legal to undertake, and I need someone with a better understanding of the laws to tell me whether or not it’ll work.

Selling drugs is not legal. $150.00 please.

On topic. GTFO.

Pitt, St. Vinny’s and Duquesne have small business centers. Call/email/visit, there are a lot of great resources that will probably be free to you. Learn about your side of things before going to a lawyer. You don’t want to pay $150 to have him answer simple questions for you.

E-mailed St Vincent’s and a lawyer almost two weeks ago with no response. I’ll e-mail Pitt and Duquesne I suppose.

PM Hycomp on here… he is a friend of mine and an attorney… Im not sure if he specializes in the area that you are interested in, but he might be able to point you in the right direction.

a phone call will go way faster/easier then snail mail

You’re right, but I was trying to not be a “bother” and keep them from their current projects, but I guess I’m going to have to call if I want an answer.

what kind of business if you dont mind me asking?
