Go to brunch at an upscale restaurant and find the table filled with white women drunk on mimosas. One of them is always a lawyer. Befriend her. It’s easiest if you’re gay, or can pretend to be.

You have to yourself be somewhat powerful. You need to have something they want / need.

Be in their social circles

This is the answer.
How do you get there? Well, there’s country clubs, having your kids at the same expensive riding club, being a board member for the same orgs as them… but those are all expensive.
Cheaper ways? Faith based groups, dog walking and… attending conferences.
All of them require you to reach out to them as people, ask about their lives, and actively listen to their responses. People generally don’t want to hear anything about you, so you don’t have to be that open.

Wanna be a bit more specific? This is a very strange story. You need a criminal defense attorney or something?

Ok, no shade, sincerely, but this whole post is so sketch.

I’m inferring that you are not in the US, so your local laws may differ. But in the US, your attorney is required to act in your best interests to the best of their ability. Working against their client is a quick way to be disbarred and paying a massive amount to their (now former) client.
That said, this whole thing seems like an exercise in creative writing. Your life savings would be too tempting to any attorney, and they would try to steal it? You need to make friends with someone powerful to find a good lawyer? You’ll need all of this in a few months, but not now? None of it makes any sense.

Yeah, sounds like roleplay or paranoia.
