It's strange how there's a collection of specific magic words in a specific order that can do anything but they can accidentally use the wrong word in this one and it's just fine

They see and experience actual lawyers using "magic words" to achieve their goals and think they are smart enough to shortcut the middlemen. What they can't shortcut is 4-years of university, another 4-years of law school, passing the state bar, and loads of experience practicing law. Hell, a lawyer that knows what sort of judge you're going up against is worth his weight in gold.

It's been fascinating, and a bit humbling, talking to lawyers over the past several years. tl;dr: What I thought I knew was bullshit and lawyers know their shit.

While we're at it, I'll plug for Legal Shield. Think I pay $26/mo.? It's basically legal insurance. You can call customer service and get a lawyer on the phone within an hour or two. Consultations are free, and I believe simple documents like end-of-life stuff are free. I think they'll draft a letter for you free, not 100% on that, haven't asked. 25% off if you have a "real* case like a divorce.

My divorce lawyer was a lazy POS, my child custody lawyer blew me the fuck away. In any case, got it all handled for thousands less than I would have paid had I called someone I randomly found online. Currently getting raped on fees from a lawyer my mom found to handle our estate case.

Anyhow, legal representation is the real difference between the rich and the poor. The rich know their rights and what they can get away with. The poor, like these idiot sovcits, do not.

If they really messed up the words, they might summon an ancient spirit.
