I've seen some reasonable SF lawyers on CL. You should vet whoever you work with well, since you might be working with them for a long time. Also, consider an S corp election initially, which has tax advantages. Some lawyers will try to keep you coming back for technicalities, so they can charge you. If they want to keep the corporate book, consider it a red flag. My advice: buy the Nolo book on corp records, and incorporate through LegalZoom.com. You really only need lawyers for litigation or patent stuff. You can also do your own trademarks. One more thing, don't give your lawyers equity. It only muddies the water, and can lead to conflict of interest. You can find some interesting advice on http://www.venturehacks.com http://www.venturehacks.com. Finally, good luck with your venture! I envy you :)
