It occurred to me that in my commentary on Tuesday, I suggested reporters call a political attorney before writing about conflicts of interests.
Here, for the benefit of political and government reporters are some attorneys that I have worked with or seen in action (sometimes on the opposite side of one of my clients). They all have experience with political law and are good at what they do:
