The time period in question was before the proliferation of outsourcing, but there was already Craigslist as a __eady reserve_ resource. I had to resolutely disregard interesting-but-unhelpful search terms with advertising of local people looking for __asual encounters_ and __ants and raves._ In the possibly more helpful Craigslist category enigmatically titled __igs,_ I typed in: Lawyer seeks help. College drop-out preferred. Long hours, pressure-cooker environment, unyielding schedule. Pays all the Ramen noodles you can eat. Great opportunity to broaden your horizons and enhance your resume!It was a truthful description of the job, and consequently, I did not expect many takers.

It was the time of year that makes every poet__ heart sing and every lawyer question their life choices.

Am I suggesting that you must feel sorry for divorce lawyers and prepare to pay every penny of their fees? Of course not! You deserve justice, and the lawyer can be lured into delivering said justice at a seriously discounted price!
