“… For all of us non-lawyers, what exactly does this mean? In plain English, please…”

I believe he/she’s say the attorney doesn’t do the needed homework but just grabs the FILE (not fil… that was a typo) on the way to the courthouse, does a quick refresher review and then wings it in court.
IMHO, some are like that but some work long, long hours preparing. The good ones can be VERY expensive and bill for all those hours.

I agree with your statement above. I once had an attorney in a one day jury trial having fairly serious heart disturbances during the trial. At one point, I threatened him that I would tell the judge if he didn’t stop. He kept going and despite all we won. So, as I said in my post, not ALL attorneys are LAZY but 51% are in my opinion based upon several thousand hours dealing with them and paying them over a 50 year timespan.
