Btw, I never mentioned anything about lawyers, but since you brought it up - no argument with you there - been there, done that, hopefully never again. Talk about throwing money out the window!

It is the lawyer's connections with the judges and knowledge of the ins and out of the court system which you are paying for. Too bad we cannot have that kind of information in a library some where? Lawyers would not like that though to have a more level playing field. Instead, lawyers make things more complicated so that they can charge $250 an hour. Some are worth it though just because of their talent to tell a story in front of a jury. Or draft a complicated will taking into account the often archaic property laws you have in each state. It is archaic often so that lawyers and judges can keep on getting the green.
And lets not get started on the Tax Code.
