Get A Lawyer ASAP

|PRATLAW| broadcasts:  listen to your trusted advisors but also get yourself a good lawyer early on.  Your lawyer can set up countless things that would cost you substantially more through an agent or friend.  Paralegals through your personal attorney can do automatic things like paying bills etcetera at very low rates.  Your lawyer should be experienced and carry malpractice insurance.  Ask to see his or her current policy and make that an annual thing to review.  Your lawyer should review your contract with an agent, all contracts your agent presents, and all contracts with friends and family.
