Mark,
For the most part, I found you very knowledgeable about the Florida legal system. One thing I've never heard in my 20 years in the legal profession is the "universal attorney to attorney agreement" that you mentioned. Maybe that's because I've always worked for high caliber firms and attorneys during my career. I'm not saying it doesn't exist among some of the ambulance chasing types, but most reputable attorneys truly have their client's best interest at heart. Also, the really good attorneys don't advertise ... they don't have to. Word of mouth is their best advertisement.
Talking about taking on city hall, my former boss also filed suit against the Florida Department of Transportation. I left him while that case was still in the discovery phase, but my understanding is that the case eventually settled. My point was that you CAN fight city hall ... and you can win.
