My lawyer years back paid $130,000 as what lawyers call consideration for a non-disclosure legal agreement.
The lawyer wanted reimbursement plus $10,000 for his legal fees.
The lawyer paid by four $35,000 checks via a private computer system.
The $35,000 checks were categorized as legal expenses because:
(1) they paid for the very expensive consideration that made the non-disclosure agreement legally valid, and
(2) they paid for my lawyer’s professional legal services.
You know the facts.
Do you think you should be incarcerated if you had typed in “legal expenses” like a large percentage of New Yorkers might very well reasonably have done?
