The Woman is Pure Evil

[ForGump]

I just felt I was on my own in the courtroom.

*That's* the problem! You should've felt like your L completely took care of you. I think you have to tell her to fix the problem.

BTW, you paid your L a "retainer," right? Probably in the $5k range? It is my understanding that there are "refundable" and "non-refundable" retainers. Unless your L is some hotshot, it's probably refundable. That is, they charge their hourly rate against the retainer, and any remaining can be/will be refunded.
