A phone call from my lawyer, who after many discussions with my former lawyer (who is still my other sister’s–the good one’s–lawyer), says that yep, I’m right on the figures and there are three things they will be asking the estate lawyer (another bone-head bordering on unethical) about three major points of question. By the way, these are the exact same three things I came to him about with outlines and figures back the first week of January. I’ve provided spreadsheets untangling the bookkeeping mess my sister (the bad one) tried to fly by us with the "if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit" method of figurework.
Of course a three-way phone conversation last week between these lawyers was supposed to have brought up and answered these three points, but evidently they were just getting used to each other. Let’s see, three lawyers at over $200/hour each…
So all I said in response was "Hallelujah, finally!" instead of the "well, it’s about fucking time!" I was thinking. These lawyers seem to be put off by clients who are smarter than they are or use expletives. I can only cut out the expletives to accommodate them.
