I posted this once before, but I think my experimentation with a new
expire program may have nuked it before it saw the light of day...
if this is a duplicate, my apologies.

Many thanks to all who responded to my plea for an honest lawyer.

At this point, as some have pointed out, a collection agency seems
a better option. I've talked to a couple that confirmed my sleazy
impressions, but I also found one that sounds quite upstanding.

I had wanted to retain the ability to sue for legal expenses +
amounts owed, so I wouldn't lose anything in the long run. However,
after a conversation with a lawyer who (very honestly) stated that
collecting after winning a lawsuit was half the battle, I decided to
cruise collection agencies after all, & found one that sounds like
it might work. If my certified letter doesn't do the trick (& I'll give
anybody 5:1 odds it doesn't), I'll try them out, & report the results.

I guess I shouldn't be so quick to ass-u-me that all collection agencies
are sleazy, since I spend a lot of time trying to point out to people
that just because I'm a headhunter doesn't mean *I'm* sleazy :-) .
