You do not need to go sit in some fancy law firm's office to get good legal advice. Just because you live in a Big City doesn't mean you need to pay Big City "Power Firm" rates for basic contract advice and consultations. In those situations you're not meeting with partners anyway - you're getting assigned to a junior associate at best. Often, the paralegals end up doing all the grunt work anyway... and if you're not careful you'll pay them as-if a senior partner dedicated their entire day to your basic mundane situation.
