Has the attorney even seen the child, or is he relaying what he's been told about her condition?

Since these are gypsies and their communities are extremely tight knit and they're accomplished con artists, I hope that the authorities have the presence of mind to confirm that the child presented is indeed the child in question and not a lookalike.

No, the attorney hasn't seen the child, but has been assured she is fine::::::major eyeroll::::::
