True to a point. Not to be argumentative Dave but many seem to think that just because they are "transportation lawyers" they are qualified to handle contracts.
There is a need to interview the lawyer, come to them with specific needs and ask questions about how those needs are going to be fulfilled but also not just pick one out of a hat. (Dave aka Bruno gave a number out who may be a good start). I have found in another recent venture that the lawyer handling the company business didn't know squat about the basics of contractor law, he knew how to prevent carriers from getting screwed on contracts but left a loop holes in the drivers contract that you could drive a truck through (pun intended). It took me about a week to find someone who would work with this guy on tightening up the driver's contracts and did a good job, he was a labor lawyer.
Again it matters that the person looks for the right person to build the relationship with for legal protecting. It isn't as hard to become a lawyer, a lot of really dumb people have passed the bar and went into business giving bad legal advice.
