No, but if you tell me your idea I'll find one

Ok, don't tell anyone but it would be either sheets of glass or acrylic bonded together into different shapes to hold water. Then you could put anything in it like fish. But as I said, don't say anything.

Thank you but as of right now I'm trying to find someone who has personal experiences or is friends with someone but I'll definately keep the link

Hmm...do you mind if they aren't local?
There is a person called skokos, I think it's Soula Skokos. I spoke with her a couple times and seems very nice. The fees are also reasonable.
A larger firm would be Foley & Lardner, LLC. I'm not sure if you want to go with them because they are $$$$.

Good luck!

I would like somewhere that has a free consultation. I don't know how many do that but would like to see what I'm even getting into. I would prefer local but that is not set in stone

I believe any "reputable" attorney will give you a free consult, then charge a retainer if they represent you.
I think some (maybe non patent) attorneys may charge initial consult fee that would be applied to your total fee...I dealt with an elder law attorney that did that.

I worked for this law firm a few summers ago and are all really nice people.
I dont think they are rediculously pricey, but I know they can kick some *** if they need to.

Check with the University of Missouri state college system. I think they have a group in south west MO state that has a division that can help guide you in your endeavor.

Best of luck

Here's your FREE consultation:

"Gee, that's a great idea. I think you could potentially sell millions. Sign right here and complete the check for $25,000 and we'll see what we find..."

All joking aside, there are a lot of scams out there, so be careful.
