I'll bet any real estate attorney there will be friendly, they get even friendlier when you pay them.If you mean those that advise you not to do some screwy, dumb. stupid, hair-brained, unconventional, guruized, scamming or illegal activity, they aren't being unfriendly, to the contrary, they are probably being very friendly keeping you out of trouble you can't afford to get into.Call Realtors in the area and get references for a good RE attorney, see who the Board of Realtors uses or has used, ask your lender for the names of three good ones.Forget about trying to get a good attorney to advise you to do things you shouldn't be, adapt your methods and strategies to their advice!
