Hello,
I`m a professional musician with platinum sales, etc... however my need to sell music and boost creativity (rather than 3 mins .99cents cookie-cutter consumer unsatisfying model) my brain come up with something I think is going to balance the industry and satisfy both listener and the music recording professional.
So, I have this idea, and I need to move it forward. and First and formost I need to patent the idea. Could someone please help me to find the right direction. perhaps finding a good (and not expensive/fancy) lawyer, that I can start approaching potential investors etc...
Trully appreciate your assistance folks!

The advice about contacting a lawyer that might end up suing you some day because his other prior client patented something that is similar to what you want to patent/make/use/sell is REALLY BAD advice in most instances. Do you think there might be a CONFLICT between a lawyer representing several clients who all have patents to different variations of widget1 widget2 and widget3? Yeah, that’s a problem.
