Why would you down vote this it is a real and valid observation. I'm not selling legal services or anything I'm just suggesting people use a lawyer when it makes sense.

Nobody on hacker news would expect a lawyer to build a NoSQL solution. Why do we think lawyers have no right to be acknowledged for their expertise!?

Anyone downvoting you isnt worth engaging in a dialogue with. Law is a complex discrete dynamical system with ambiguous transition rules that are nondeterministic functions of relevant case law and applicable local state and federal regulations.

That sounds like it requires an expert to me. :-)

Sounds like you're describing a byzantine system that, among other things, (i) obligates citizens of a democracy to obey its rules without providing free access to the rules themselves and (ii) allows special interests to capture disproportionately large benefits under the veil of complexity.

Surely this isn't the best we can do.
