If you need a lawyer, then start speaking to elder lawyers in the area instead of posting what you did on a message board. However, if you want a qualified lawyer to take the case, stick to the facts rather than the hyperbole and conspiracy theories. The old "not afraid to sue" nonsense and complaints about another lawyer is also a huge red flag to lawyers that you have been told you don't have much of a case, or are difficult to work with. That won't help you get a lawyer to take the case. Obviously, the lawyer will also expect a retainer and payment of fees.

Scott's tip is a good one. The tone of your post will scare off any good lawyer (lawyers have no fear of the state or county, but they will avoid clients who speak in hyperbole and conspoiracy language rather than outlining facts).
