Anybody know where to find a good lawyer to take on a sharky small publisher?
Not too long ago, I was working with one that got VERY legally threatening when it didn't get its way. The publisher had clearly done this before, and as a newly published author I found myself at an alarming disadvantage.
Nothing going on right now, but I thought I'd find out more about what to do so I don't get caught so unprepared again. What I discovered at the time of the drama was that, while I could most likely afford a lawyer, I had no idea who to look for or where to find them, and the clock was ticking.
So - lawyers you know with this expertise, law firms, websites, listings, a good place to start...any or all appreciated.
To be clear, I'm not out to use a lawyer to clobber some poor small publisher. If the same type of thing happens again, I just want to be able to have a fair and balanced argument instead of getting pushed around.
Thanks.
