I am currently in the market for a startup lawyer in the Austin Texas area! If anyone has any advice or recommendations it would be helpful. In my last company the lawyer we used was part of the problem. I'm interviewing several lawyers this week and next and would any help anyone has about what questions to ask in the first meeting would be helpful.
"Further, throughout this entire process, apparently I was accruing fees which were non-transparent to me until 6 months later when I received a check [I think he means bill] that was about 3 times what we had originally negotiated."<p>A bill from a law firm is normally more like a proposal / starting negotiation point :)
