Recommendations for M&A counsel — small acquisition, pre-LOI

I'm preparing to submit an LOI on a profitable services business (~$1.2M revenue, ~$900K SDE) at a ~$3.5M enterprise value. Anticipated structure includes seller rollover equity, a substantial seller note, and senior outside capital. Looking for recommendations for transaction counsel with experience in: - Lower-middle-market acquisitions in the $3–5M EV range - Seller-financed structures with rollover equity and subordinated seller notes - Self-funded / independent sponsor deals — not traditional PE timelines or budgets - Working with the seller-side bank if SBA-aligned financing comes into play Looking for counsel I can engage initially for LOI review and negotiation, with a path to running the full transaction if we move forward. Reasonable fees and responsiveness matter as much as pedigree. Open to firms or solo practitioners. Happy to take recommendations in the comments or by DM. Thanks in advance.
