I just remembered (smacks forehead with palm) that a couple of years ago I posted a sample privacy policy that can give you and your lawyer a head start---see http://www.ontechnologylaw.com/privacy-policy-for-web-sites-...

This. I use a lawyer. He pulls a TOS off the shelf, edits a few paragraphs and it's done in no time. This is way cheaper (and quite reasonable) than having him review an existing document. It pays to go with a lawyer who knows about these things. This shouldn't be a hard problem.
Virtually any lawyer that does the same type of work repeatedly will have a set of base forms they usually start from. The cost benefit is that they don't have to review things in as much detail because they are already familiar with it (they essentially draft and review documents as diffs from their base form). If you give them a form they've never seen, they literally have to read (and understand) every word.
