I've updated that post to note that you've confirmed the availability of guild attorneys outside of NYC; I'm aware that it's a national org but I guess I was confused about Heidi specifying that NYC lawyers were available, which is what I was trying to note. As for everything else, I've provided NLG contact info to everyone who's come to me and the hotline number is on the pastebin but have also given them the option of contacting Liederman since he's built up a large team of attorneys and is bringing several out of retirement; one of those arrested is already being represented by one of the lawyers assembled. Stanley Cohen is apparently representing Mercedes (he won't be repping anyone else, I believe) and I've already gotten in touch with a few lawyers in Europe through David House, although I haven't been in touch with any of the Europeans arrested thus far. Regarding the NLG managing everything, that sounds fine to me but I'm not sure how to make that happen, although I'll definitely make sure your website gets attention and have just tweeted that you do have lawyers available nationally.

Hey Barrett -

I saw this http://pastebin.com/ddPgpyCP and just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate you doing this and also that we aren't geographically related to NY state.  We are happy to help throughout the country and if you are having trouble finding people internationally we may be able to help there too (although definitely not a given) thats kind of the benefit to having it be through the guild is that we are a national organization made up of a lot of defense attorneys so its easier for us than the aclu or someone else to find a defense attorney anywhere.  that's why i think its critical that this be managed through the guild instead of piecemealed out any other way.
