If we get really serious about this I suggest that we get no just an attorney,
but that we get an environmental attorney.  I have had the opportunity to do
consulting for several such attorneys and could recommend a couple that I feel
are worth their salt.  These attorneys are very expensive.  If I remember
correctly, $500 an hour would be typical.  And if we get really serious we are
not going to be talking thousands of dollars, but millions.   How serious are
we?
