Hi, Randy! Thanks for keeping us updated on your life; many of us at
Google Answers feel as if we know you personally.
I've gathered some online info that should assist you in your efforts
to launch yourself as an expert.

"ExpertLaw.com was founded in 1997 to provide a free mechanism by
which attorneys could locate expert witnesses in a wide variety of
fields, without cost. As much as possible, we wish to remove the
'middle man,' allowing attorneys to retain experts without paying
finders fees or referral fees...
In addition, we provide free information, to assist experts,
attorneys, and the general public on legal issues, and to provide
information of interest to expert witnesses and litigation attorneys."

the directory, and finding the categories and subcategories that
describe your services, follow the 'Add Your Site' link on the
directory page where you wish to be listed, and then follow the simple

"Experts.com is the premier registry of Experts on the Internet. It is
the oldest and most established expert directory of its kind...
An expert is an authority in any discipline that requires specialized
knowledge and/or experience. Experts are hired as consultants and,
very often, as expert witnesses. When engaged, they may evaluate the
facts, render a supportable opinion, recommend a course of action, or
implement a plan or a strategy. If hired as an expert witness, their
opinion is often rendered as sworn testimony under oath...
If you possess any specialized knowledge, skill, education,
experience, or training in any of our 1070 and growing disciplines,
then your expert services may be in demand by the legal or business
community.
Because of the demand and importance of their roles, experts are paid
extremely well for their consulting services. Typical fees for expert
or consultant services can range from $100 per hour to over $10,000
per day depending on the supply and demand for the expert's particular
area of expertise, background, and credentials. For experts actively
involved in litigation (arbitration, mediation, or trial), it is not
unheard of to be compensated over $100,000 per case plus expenses in
complex cases.
For as little as $250 per year for a listing in the Experts.com
directory, the Internet's premier expert registry, you can reach out
to those who are most in need of your expert services, the legal
industry."
