One of the books I read before turning a side project into a full time business talked about the importance of finding two good "A"'s - an attorney and an accountant, and gave some tips for how to do so that I no longer really recall. The reason behind it however was that both tasks done well will take up a lot of time, and there is a lot someone that isn't specializing in them could miss. It did take a fair amount of effort finding someone good, but they both paid off very quickly and now we have someone we can trust in both roles

I needed two different sorts of attorneys about 5 years ago, so i asked my friends who have their law degrees and passed the bar how i go about finding lawyers for these two specific things. I was told unanimously to use the state bar association.

I went to the state bar site(s) and did whatever was required to get a list/callbacks/whatever, and immediately started receiving spam calls and emails from "Law Services" companies where they wanted me to pre-load some sort of debit card, which would then be debited any time i had need for billable hours from "law services".

It felt really strange and scammy, and i relayed this to my friends who told me to try that, and nothing came of it. I didn't even find the lawyer(s) i required, to mine own detriment of six figures of loss.
