Someone in my family is a lawyer, and she does work similar to the type described above.
One of the problems (as I see it) in their work is that they obsess over issues that are not going to happen, or exceedingly unlikely to happen, but that is their job.
The lawyer I know just completed a contractual change (to be signed by a dozen people) because one of the many lawyers didn't like the wording on the payment terms, and even though the client had been paid, they still wanted the payment terms modified.
Their logic and training is fundamentally different from that of engineers; building/designing anything based on 'legal logic' would prevent progress. They are different, sometimes that's good, mostly it's not.
But you're still getting screwed.
