I still have a lawyer on the backburner and if I do see anything even remotely shifty I'm pulling the trigger on it. He was apparently only able to just get a lawyer or maybe an aide to just look at his packet and make sure it's filled out correctly, not for any representation or legal advice. Could he be lying? Sure. Like me, he's not particularly good at it. But I'm still preparing all my documents and evidence, etc. to have on hand. Got our court date for September 22nd. Hopefully it'll be the only one we need.
