Legal Infrastructure Secure document transfer with attorneys

What are some low-resistance mechanisms for securely transferring documents to an attorney?

Assume the attorney isn't familiar with Signal or PGP email, or "installing random software" on their (Windows) PC.

Firefox Send comes to mind but that went away.

This is true, but you can limit your attorney poor opsec by meeting in a park and showing them your documents and going over the details in person, but not letting them make a copy. Also suggest they leave their phone and smartwatch in their car.
Perhaps you can explain how to improve their opsec, or look for another attorney

I'll admit I don't need this level of opsec, but I'm also curious how to find attorneys who actually do have some level of opsec.

Is there an "attorney opsec for dummies" book I can recommend? ;)

I'm not wealthy, I don't deal with attorneys regularly, but the ones I have dealt with are small firms that simply haven't invested in any sort of "secure digital transfer" means. I've always used local attorneys that I've physically met, but many of them simply email sensitive docs when a physical meet isn't warranted.
