I agree. Though I have run into a few lawyers who really made me wonder how they made it through law school, let alone run a successful practice. And I have run into a few realtors who are as bright and professional as any top notch lawyer. Still, at the end of the day, when you need a lawyer, there is no substitute. You can live without a realtor. It might cost you more in the end, but you have less of a chance of ending up bankrupt or in jail than by trying to skip the lawyer.
