I'm not too concerned about having the best possible lawyer in that case -- as long as I have a vaguely competent lawyer (the same way I want, say, a vaguely competent taxi driver or a vaguely competent waiter) I should be fine.

I paid $75/hour to get a lawyer to do the work when we bought our house. I'm not sure why you chose to pay someone that much. Only you can answer that:) I'm Canadian, living in a large city so i don't think location factors into the lawyers fee's.
