I'm in Greenville, SC and looking for a realestate attorney to prepare a residential property lease.  Any recommendations?

Real estate attorneys are great (notwithstanding the fact that I am one), but I will say that I have great confidence in the templates put out by my local and state apartment associations.  I've drafted custom residential and commercial leases and it can be expensive.  Granted, there are unique circumstances when this would be necessary but 85% of the time on residential leases, you can be completely covered by the association templates.  Here in CA, the Apartment Association has a team of attorneys that review, revise, and maintain all the forms ongoing as laws change or superior methods are discovered.  Also, if there are some additional nuances that require some custom drafting, you can always use the Addendum to accomplish.  Any particular issue that you are trying to address that requires a custom lease?
