Legal fees are high because lawyers have rigged the whole system. Try and operate in business and society without a lawyer.
You make vague allegations, but you could substitute plumbers, teachers, doctors, or whatever, and your allegation would be just as meaningless.
Please specify how the system is “rigged” and how you would unrig it?
there is nothing vague about lawyers making the rules we all have to function under that require lawyers to interpret, represent and argue. People don't usually need to have a plumber on retainer.
