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. Jesse ---

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. ---

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. ---

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. ---
