A friend of mine is dating a girl who needs a lawyer. She was served right before Christmas and has to go to court next week.
He is telling me she couldn't get a lawyer because "she couldn't get one on such short notice, they don't work during the holiday". Um... I would think that's bullsh!t, these are lawyers we are talking about.
What is disturbing to me about this is not that she thinks she couldn't get a lawyer but that my friend, who is otherwise sane and rational, agrees with her and defends her position.
I know we have some lawyers here... what do you think? Could she have gotten one during the holiday? Or maybe even a better question: on how short of notice could anyone pop into a lawyer's office and say "I need help in civil court"?
Also, the other party does have a lawyer with him; so I imagine she'll be eaten alive in court.
