Finding the right attorney

[William M.]

Hey everyone, I have a question. After years of learning I'm ready to start taking action wholesaling. I thought my first step should be to find an attorney willing to do assignments and simultaneous closes and also get the proper legal documents I need. I did a search for local real estate closing attorney and only found three locally. One has a disconnected number, one is not even based out often state but advertises for my area and the third was a firm that practiced many different areas including real estate. I called the third and said "I need some legal advice for a few real estate investing strategies I would like to do. I basically need an attorney to help me with the legal aspect of the transaction." The lady on the phone sounded confused and said" investing? We help people buy and sell houses but we don't do anything for investors. You want an investor attorney." She then gave me a number to an attorney reference center. I called them and said the same thing and they told me I need a real estate attorney then gave me the number to the New York bar assotiation.
What am I doing wrong? I can't find a local closing attorney to work with.
