Good/Bad Idea to have lawyer friend help you?
Posted at 18:46 on Wed, 10/12/2011
I was wondering if any of you guys have experienced this and if so; was it a good or a bad idea? My friend is thinking about using her personal friend as her adoption lawyer. A part of me feels this will be a bad idea but I'm not exactly sure how. What do you guys think? I wanted to get some other perspectives on the issue before bringing it up to her. I just want to make sure she's happy and making the right choice.
Thanks!!

I think it could go either
Amy Posted at 19:56 on Tue, 10/18/2011I think it could go either way. It really depends on the friend and if you think they can still work hard even though they know everything they're doing is for you. If things don't go as well as you thought, problems could affect your relationship. It really depends...
It depends on how close

I agree with everyone
