Nervous as all hell of encountering LE, any advice? This is all new for me.

This one's easy. Use the search function TER provides to find well reviewed escorts in your area.
Tell this board where you're located and someone's sure to jump in with a few suggestions.

New England. Thank

New England huh...this might not be as easy as I thought. Move to NJ and maybe I can help you out.

Bottom line, just meet very well reviewed providers who are in your area or who travel and make sure all of their contact info matches.  Read their reviews from top to bottom and then just set it up. Don't discuss anything on the phone but know what donation you need to bring and do it

Welcome to the board, lover!  :3 Look for girls who have updated information, a website that seems independent, a mix of selfies and pro shots.  But the best thing you can do is check out a girl's site and get in touch, if you're being good you won't be discussing anything illegal till well after you've spoken to her a bit

Its all about reviewed girls. If you find girls with up-to-date reviews, from writers with multiple reviews you should do OK. After you have a couple of girls that you are interested in, ask for additional feedback from the board. It also helps to provide what you are looking for: top/bottom, ethnicity, GFE, etc.

What you might find helpful is letting the board know where in New England you're located. Guys and Girls can
then jump in with safe and fun  recomendations.

Thanks all, I appreciate the advice.
