Not being an attorney what is the issue with someone preparing their own divorce papers and asking someone else to sign and file them?
In this case, it looks like Wade was going to use the ruse of attorney/client privilege to keep Bradley quiet about his knowledge of Wade's and Fanny's relationship.
Wade wasn't Bradley's client though so Wade created an artifice to make it looks as if he were...to prevent Bradley from testifying against him and Fani.
IOW, Wade is guilty of conspiring to conceal evidence/testimony behind attorney/client privilege.
Dan Markel did his own divorce in Florida. He’s dead now.
WADE & BRADLEY WERE BOTH ATTORNEYS-—PARTNERS IN SAME FIRM,
THERE WAS PRIOR TESTIMONY THAT THERE WAS NO CLIENT/ATTNY CONTRACT AND NO PAYMENT FOR SERVICES COULD BE SHOWN.
WADE was declaring “CLIENT/ATTORNEY” PRIVILEGES on a number of questions.
ANOTHER LIE.
