I am assuming that SF stands for San Francisco. If that is the case, you can hire an attorney in either California or in the state in which you reside. If you would like to talk to an attorney concerning this matter feel free to contact our office. We have experience in drafting and negotiating licensing agreements as well as experience in representing photographers. In the alternative, you may want to look for an attorney in your state bar website.
