How to chose a good business lawyer?

jpiglet86 asked:


I’m looking to start a business, but am not sure what to look for in a good business lawyer. I’m going to need help drafting letters in the hopes of gaining corporate assistance in starting the business.

But I’ve never needed a lawyer before and want to make sure I get a good one that hopefully won’t eat up the small budget that I have.

Any lawyers out there with any advice on the subject? I just want to make sure that my business idea stays mine and don’t want some shady lawyer that’s going to run off with my plan the minute prescription online they hear about it.

Thank you!
