Actually, while I had my short private practice, I volunteered at
the County Free Legal Clinic and handled administrative law cases,
primarily landlord-tenant cases. Administrative law is, after all,
administrative law.... ggg

But you are right. Anything requiring the type of expertise in the
areas which you cited above requires an expert, and I for one
wouldn't even think about taking such a case.

The best lawyer in medical malpractice was my erstwhile friend and
law school upper-classmate role model who, in addition to being a
top notch lawyer, was the assistant chief of OB-GYN at a major hospital
in suburban San Francisco. Bill died a number of years ago - the doctor
didn't take good enough care of his diabetes. A real tragedy.
