Already called 100% of the local attorneys (Very easy to do; not many options) and the distant attorneys won't go to this rural court many many miles away from them.
That could work to your advantage.
One more thought, these days most courts don't require attorneys to appear in person for some matters.
Call the court clerk and ask if an attorney can appear via video-conference?
I've done it many times over the past few decades.
