I am wondering if anyone has gone to speak to a lawyer before starting your grow operation? I am just wondering because I am in North Carolina and this state has asset forfeiture for drug convictions. If you did go to a lawyer, how did you find one that you can trust? Thanks for the help.

A lawyer cannot advise you on anything that is illegal. They can't turn you in, there are privacy issues, but not necessarily attorney-client privilege if it is just a consultation because technically there is no attorney-client relationship yet. That being said, an attorney will not call the police on you, but they cannot tell you how to grow illegally and not get caught, they can only tell you that it is illegal, tell you not to break the law, and tell you what the possible penalties are.

Exactly. Last time I went to a lawer he offered free consultation, I paid him a dollar and got a receipt. Just tell the lawyer you need to pay a dollar.
