Hi Adam, 

I'm not sure how much value you will get from meeting with an attorney.
The information you want is pretty stable and widely discussed.

there are local mail lists for contractors/consultants
and books on how to start your own practice, not mention many web
sites as well.

Here is one list where you can get some good advice:

someone in BLU.
