What happened was that I phoned the first firm I found in the yellow pages.
Got through to their receptionist and explained the situation. She said "You don't really want to be with this firm then, I can recommend a much better one. Try ringing (the other company) as they're really good in that area."
Never looked back.

And were her bosses a pair of really zany dudes?

Dunno- didn't use that firm and never have done.
I don't know her name and never spoke to her again but she explained on the phone-call that her husband had recently faced the same charge as I was facing and that he had used the company she suggested- with a successful outcome.
In my case I avoided 6-12 months in jail and ended up with 12 months probation instead.

I've decided to assume that all law firms are the one out of Ally McBeal.
It's part of my plan to simplify the world.

I've decided to assume that I'm the head of the Red Army for the same reasons.
Unfortunately it isn't working out too well so far.
