He was lying to you the whole time, probably a better actor than lawyer. You should have never let him in your house or even in your neighborhood. He is worse than cancer. He is the lowest of the low, a scumbag amongst lawyers. But that's just my opinion.
Believe me, real life or internet I would have asked him to leave the second I found out he was associated with the ACLU.
I'm surprised he didn't trip over your sprinklers and sue you for a million dollars.
EDIT, LEGAL DISCLAIMER: the above is a hypothetical opinion based on hypothetical people I haven't met and in no was should be twisted or warped or perverted into meaning anything other than what i meant, even if it means some scumsucking civil lawyer has to be honest for the first time in his life.
But I mean that in the nicest way.....................
