Richard,

Sorry for the delay, it took me a bit track down his contact info.

Brandt Howell is a patent attorney and was one of the speakers on the Electronic Frontiers Forums (EFF) track at Dragon Con this year. I have never used his services but he is the only patent attorney I have met. Here is his contact information:
