So... how is Mrs. Robinson these days?
The trouble with lawyers is 98% of them make the other 2% look bad.
Rarely see the words "good" and "lawyer" used in the same sentence, unless the good is followed by "for nothing" or "way to get rid of" or something along those lines.
Patent work is normally pretty specialized. In Okla there is a separte bar test before you can practice in the arena.
1. Find a decent honest person who has hired a patent atty who successfully patented something for him or her.
2. Find another
3. Find another.
When you have at least 2 names, preferably 3, meet with each one to get a feel for whether you are willing to "marry" one of them. Surely there is an older patent atty who will still work by the hour.
Best of luck to you.
