That’s why I always say “A hit man is always cheaper than a lawyer”.
Or my favorite law firm is Smith and Wesson.
My sister was married to a lawyer and she had tough time during the divorce but got custody and child support.
He moved 4 hours away and she used to meet him halfway to exchange the kid.
This one weekend there was a guy on a motorcycle who kept passing them then falling back and following too closely. Well, my idiot sister had her husband pull over and she flagged down the motorcyclist. Come to find out the guy was someone my sister had gone to school with and they talked a bit until the Ex showed up.
The Ex turned white when he saw my sister and the guy who said to him, “You didn’t tell me you were talking about ‘Mary Smith’ you said her name was ‘Mary Jones’.
My sister is convinced that the guy was supposed to kill her and knowing that the guy was a drug dealer and her Ex had been his lawyer I think she was right. I also think that if she hadn’t flagged him down like she did he might have done it.
