I do think that finding a lawyer who specialized in business/corporate law would be enough for what you need. Since back then (or until now) there are no courses being offered specifically for cryptocurrency laws which we barely have until now. If you do have state laws for cryptocurrency I know that lawyers are obligated to learn the new law in order to be competent for their clients. Just go to a local firm you have one instead of trying to find someone online as most likely you will only have offers from scammers.

Most like be the case when we do talk about seeking lawyers with specific field of expertise. Crypto firm wont really be on that list but as you said that lawyers who do specializing business law would be considerable. I dont know why people tend to seek these people here online instead on finding on their own local place? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

Judging by how he has written his OP he barely knows what a lawyer is in his profession. He said that he is looking for an "accredited lawyer" but to start all lawyers are accredited and has the full capacity to entertain all of your legal problems may it be from the civil or criminal side. In the School of Law there is no such thing as specialization for their majors all of them needs to take it and all of them needs to be capable of all kinds of law. It seems like the OP is watching a lot of those legal dramas that is why he has a big misconception for what he is looking for.

Local inquires were made, but it never hurts to look everywhere. The primary problem is that most lawyers do not want to be involved in crypto related matters, ime. I know there are not specialized law courses or firms for crypto yet. I'd be happy with a business lawyer who understands what crypto is and has some experience in it. The odds of finding such a person are better here. My apologies if my wording was confusing. You are correct, I am not knowledgeable about the inner workings of the school of law, that's why I seek a lawyer. Specialization may not be a part of the school, but an individual or firm can choose to focus on a specialization. This is quite common, such as a business firm or a disability lawyer.

The problem with accountant, lawyers and whatnot, is that they seem to be as lost as the government itself, everything seems very arbitrary to me with many grey areas, which is why I think hodling is the only sane thing to do still in 2019. In any case, if you want to contant a laywer specially in Wyoming for crypto purposes, try sending an email to Trace Mayer and ask about it, I think he is working with lawyers in Wyoming for pro-Bitcoin initiatives and establish a jurisdiction there that will not screw up over Bitcoin hodlers. I doubt he will answer emails from random people tho but you can try. You can also look for the guests that show up on Tone Vays' "Bitcoin Law Review" show and send emails.

I don't think its that prevalent and if it does you can attribute the problem with miscommunication. As long as they got down to the basics of the concern they will get what the issue is. For lawyers knowing what's the problem is as well as what they are trying to claim will help a lot. For people seeking out help for accountants getting it down to the basics of showing your gains and losses from the trade just like what you will do in other trades such as stocks will help them start their service for you.

I don't think you have briefed a little on the issue you are seeking a lawyer for regarding cryptocurrency. Such brief might help you a bit as a guide to what damage or restitution you are seeking for perhaps. Although, it is not advisable to get an online personal to avoid scam or further scam as the case maybe. Specialization may not be a part of the school, but an individual or firm can choose to focus on a specialization. This is quite common, such as a business firm or a disability lawyer.
Yes you are quite right on this as some firms choose to even stay on property or assault cases.

It seems like the OP is watching a lot of those legal dramas that is why he has a big misconception for what he is looking for. As such, after school of law, some lawyers might have preference for certain aspect of law and so might further courses on them to be well acquainted with the laws around such areas. So ,you might find a lawyer always taking up family cases and referring criminal cases to another lawyer because the procedures are different.

Yes, but many have lost part of their records over the years. For instance, you are participating on Bitsler's signature campaign. Suppose that the site closes and it no longer exists, and you didn't keep records of the payments sent on your Bitsler's account. There's a problem there. And I am worried that if I simply say the truth (that I lost those records) they wouldn't believe it. Thus the reason why just holding seems like the best idea, but it still sucks not having any jurisdictional guarantee of what to do in this situation. It seems random depending on the official dealing with your case when you present it..

@OP. Wyoming's a hotbed for crypto law speak now. It's of course gone ahead with its own legislation but has really come into quite heated debates with Forbes and the Uniform Law Commission. Wyoming Blockchain Coalition is probably your go-to staging point. You might want to check out the LinkedIn of Andrea Tinianow, who's right at the heart of the Wyoming debate (she's pro), although she's part of the Delaware circle. She regularly tags legal peeps in the US too on her Twitter, lots of breadcrumbs to follow. Good luck!

You will be looking for such a narrow specialist for a long time and not the fact that you will find it. The simplest solution is to contact an ordinary lawyer and pay him extra for clarifying your questions in the collegium or something similar. If you decide by all means to find a blockchain lawyer - let me know later how much one hour of his services costs?

Hi I don't think that's what Op is asking for. He probably asking for lawyers in cryptocreency matters and I think that is a new field in law yet to be explored but lawyers in business, commercial or company law can fit into his enquiry and not criminal or matters of sexual assaults. I opened the link and saw it is talking about military, criminal, sexual assaults and things of that nature. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FB39q58D.png&t=665&c=ac81N_yMGYItUA)

Hey, did you find someone? I know that a lawyer specializing in economics and business is enough, but I want to find someone who understands cryptocurrency. I've already found a criminal defense lawyer in case something happens. Now the cryptocurrency world is becoming increasingly popular, and I need at least some advice for one important question. I don't think I can do it alone. I hope you found someone and can help me. I really appreciate any help you can provide. Try asking for a referral in your local bar association? I'm not sure if they do wyoming as well but there's also silvermiller (US lawfirm) that has been mentioned in articles few times as they handled crypto related cases (coindesk, cointelegraph - you can look it up). I'm not vouching for them just to be clear, never used them. As usual, no blind trusting, always research and screen them. ICYMI: buwaytress' suggestion is something to look into as well. (posting cause OP was last active last year ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) )
