This question might seem naive and if it does I apologize. I live in Vegas but in all likelihood the vast majority of projects I'll be taking will be for out of state companies(especially in CA.) Should I retain a lawyer here, or should I look for one based in California? Thanks for any insight.

If you are going to sue a company in CA, you will need a lawyer licensed there.

For contracts, you can hire a local lawyer if they put Nevada as the jurisdiction in the contract. Also, you can then sue them in Nevada.
