Well, this negotiation is going to be interesting for some intrepid young lawyer.
From the bowels of Craigslist comes an… interesting ad. According to the copy, there’s a young woman — or in the parlance of the ad, a 22-year-old “damsel” — in need of a divorce. Now, that’s a pretty standard reason to seek a lawyer, though Craigslist is not the preferred way to engage counsel. But things kinda go off the rails when it becomes clear the poster cannot afford legal services. Rather than look for attorneys willing to work for free, she seems to want to avail herself of the barter system.
What precisely she’s willing to trade is left up to your imagination, but it certainly looks like she’s seeking a pro boner attorney.
I shudder to think of the legal ethics of any attorney who might take this woman up on what she very obviously seems to be offering.
