I’ve searched these forums and can’t find any reference to a way to find an actual Taipei lawyer who speaks a little English. I tried to ask for this in another thread, while only giving a very brief description of my complicated situation. This was my error because it inspired people to give extended legal opinions telling me that I should not speak to a lawyer. It looks like that thread has gone in another direction, so I would like to ask again if anyone can help me with just this one piece of information. My situation can’t be described briefly, which is why I need the opinion of someone with credential in Taiwan and Taipei law. I beg of anyone here: do you have a way to find an English-speaking lawyer in Taipei (even if you believe my situation doesn’t warrant one)?
Sorry if you were offended by my frank advice in the other thread. Feel free to let us know if we misunderstood your situation and/or if you have any further questions. After all, you’ve got a gaggle of lawyers willing to give you free advice here – can’t beat that. 
Otherwise, you may find some useful advice here.
Thank you, I think the Martindale link will be a good place to start. For regular people, talking to a lawyer is not about initiating a lawsuit, but about finding out what kind of legal and practical leverage you can exert over the other party to mitigate the injury they are doing you. An initial consultation with a good lawyer can be an inexpensive, fast, and practical way to improve your situation. Relying exclusively on non-credentialed people for legal advice is as foolish as embarking on a lawsuit (beyond small claims) because people respond with their common sense and their sense of justice, not legal sense. You can get in a lot of trouble that way. People with substantial grievances should always be recommended to get a lawyer’s opinion at some point.
Mother Theresa is a lawyer.
That’s ok. If he wants to pay money to talk to another lawyer, he’s welcome to do so. I seriously doubt it will be worth what he pays for it, or will help him to reach a better resolution, but no offense taken.
I think most lawyers will tell you what MT told you. If you really want to consider the legal road, you’d be better off getting advice from experienced building contractors to see if the renovations are conducted by the book. Best to go after the workers instead of the neighbor. Plus, they will eventually leave but the neighbor will stay. 
Under General Legal Matters, there is a sticky thread with links to the trade offices’ lists of lawyers and info on the trade offices that have lists but which require you to ask for them.
