Thanks. I had looked into using an agent; a friend who has a few medical device patents suggested his agent but I've left several messages over the last week and the agent hasn't called back yet. I'm thinking I should interview two or three attorneys/agents before settling on one?

What sort of rates/amount should I be prepared to pay the agent/attorney?

I didn't actually interview anyone in person (good idea, of course); I had to do everything over the internet. So I looked at what they had online. The one that picked had extensive contributions to forums, etc. Another reason was that the price was on the lower end of the range (4K or so).
