General lawyer advice question

Guess I'll ask this here. Trying to decide on a lawyer to contact to get an initial consultation. Not everyone knows my story, but essentially a situation of wife with a lot of psychiatric problems and my concern with getting custody of our young son and keeping him in a safe situation, as well as trying to hang on to our home.
So, since there are about a bazillion lawyers in the yellow book, need some help there.

Should I go with some guys who tout themselves as being "husband advocates", or could this hurt me somehow?

Never done this lawyer thing before, so do I need to get one that is in my county or does that matter?

Can I expect to get a lot of good questions answered in an initial consultation, or do they do it just to get you hooked and not really give you anything very concrete up front?

Should I just look for someone who does the initial for free? I'm pretty budget restricted.

Any other pointers?

Thanks for any feedback.
