Makes sense. Unfortunately I don't have family nor close friends in the U.S. Having been on HN for 8-9 years I figured it's the closest friends I have in U.S. :)

I rather not consult local lawyers (in my current country) unfortunately, as I am not sure of the extent of professional secrecy provided.

I meant local as in the local jurisdiction you'll be tried in.

For example, most state bars have a referral service that will connect you with a lawyer. Similarly, there are other local professional orgs that will offer referrals.

E.g. http://www.calbar.ca.gov/Public/Need-Legal-Help/Lawyer-Refer...

Some quick intro screening / get to know you conversation should probably be sufficient for finding someone quality who can help you.
