How do you make the best use of an attorney's time?

[Brian V.]

I need an attorney to look at some contracts I want to use for purchasing "subject to" in the state of California. I need him to make sure they are legal and educate me on how to fill them out properly.

I also want him to explain how I use land trusts.

I also want him to review Lease and Option paperwork and show me how to fill them out correctly.

I also want him to explain how I fill out a limited power of attorney document.

I bought a course on Subject 2 and I want to take action. The person who wrote the course advises that I have an attorney go over all the paperwork to make sure I'm doing it properly in my state.

My problem is I just got a quote from an attorney and he wants $300/hr.  I could go broke paying attorneys, but I really need help using the paperwork because the course did not give me any examples of properly completed paperwork.

 How can I make the best use of an Attorney? I've never hired one before.
