My experience tells me that good lawyers are quite smart folks able to understand quickly whatever they need to understand in order to defend their client in court. So I think any good lawyer will "get it" is (s)he wants (read: if paid enough). If I were to choose a lawyer to protect my own frozen body against this kind of things, rather than choosing a naive "believer" I would choose one of those legal sharks who win divorce and inheritance cases (like Pat Webster in The First Immortal).
The difficulty is that, contrary to divorce and inheritance cases, here there is no money to win. So the lawyer wants to be paid in cash instead that as a percent of the sum gained.
I suggest that you contact the very best legal studio in Paris and find out how much they want to take the case. If it is much more than the Martinot family can afford (I am sure it is), we can see how much we can raise from cryonicists.
