While maybe literally true, "risk that you cannot understand" is a little overthreatening. Are you implying extrajudicial financial ruin, torture, murder? I doubt it, so what?

I'm trying not to imply anything, because every situation is different. Nevertheless, violating a federal order could have serious consequences, and if you need advice on this subject, you should talk to an attorney about it.
Do you think the average retained attorney will be well-versed in the subtleties of NSL disclosure?
The point being made upthread is that there is no black and white guidance, there is no secret NSL Guide Book for attornies.
Yes, actually I do. Gag orders aren't unique to the NSL and if your attorney believes the case is too complicated they will be able to help you find a specialist.
The FBI does in fact has some guidance that your attorney will be able to locate[1]
