Working with a new rifle(.223VLSSTH) and the trigger seems a bit stiff (hard to pull). Is there a good trigger person in SE Michigan? Or close like Ohio or Indiana? or can I get a trigger from Sinclair and install it myself? I'm not all that mechanically talented though, and a bit clumsy.
You can get a Timney or other commercial trigger and install it for the price most smiths want for a trigger job. If you can't get a local smith to do it for $65 or less, the price of shipping your barreled action to someone and return shipping plus the labor, will easily exceed the cost of a Timney. Of course, you can get directions on-line on how to adjust a Remington trigger but witout taking it apart, I've had mixed results doing that.

Installing and/or adjusting a weapons trigger is something you don't want to chance and therefore probably best left to someone who is a bit more mechanically adept. You seem to know your limitations and that is refreshing to say the least. Maybe you can get a friend, or, an acquaintance to help you with it.
ADjusting the 700 trigger is very easy to do and if you search for a gunsmith on line in your area any of them can do it. There is nothing complicated about it. If you are not mechanically talented then don't try it since you may make it unsafe. You certainly don't want it going off accidentally.

Mike, there is a very good gunsmith within a couple miles of where you live; Clyde Moore, D&D Gunsmiths in Clawson. I've taken him such work several times and never had a problem. He can take care of your "lawyer trigger"

What Malm said!
However I will add one more word of caution and that is amateurs teach amateurs to be amateurs. If you have decided to opt for the adjustment seek competent qualified assistance.

Don't bother with the stock trigger. Get a Jewel trigger. Any gunsmith can install it and adjust it to your specifications witout being a "trigger expert". It's not hard to do yourself but if you have any doubts take it to a gunsmith.
Matt, I used D&D a lot a few years back and then one time they did some shoddy work on a pistol and were very smart ass about it when questioned. I haven't been back for maybe 10 years. Have things changed?
