Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Virginia
I am a published Author, and am new to this. I was fairly non educated on the ways of getting published, and I didn't get a lawyer. I would like some advice. For one, I may be getting published again,( strong possibility), & I don't want to make the same mistake twice. I need to know, for one, how to go about obtaining a Lawyer, and two, how to get them to possibly check into the book that was already published.

Well, it is not clear from your question what type of concerns you have, so I am not entirely sure what to suggest.
However, I am not only a lawyer but also an author. I sort of self-published my spy novel COLDE PEACE, but more complicated than that. My brother set up a small publishing house on his own and we published several books through it. We are familiar with the whole deal.
My brother in law works with a major publishing house (although their focus is very narrow) and I know a great deal about the publishing world. I also personally wrote the book proposal for the conservative blockbuster "Unfit for Command" after it was originally rejected by publishers. It went on to sell more than a million copies.
Finding an attorney is never easy. The Bar rules do not allow attorneys to advertise a speciality, except in narrow situations. Some attorneys are overloaded already. You have to be on the same wavelength. So there is no magic answer.
But I would be happy to talk to you about this and see if I could help: (703) 656-1230
