"I think your statement of providing “limited but affordable legal services” is just untrue. There is absolutely nothing limited about your legal services, affordable, yes, but limited, no. I will always seek your counsel in any legal matters. You are an amazing person, who has become a friend, who happens to have an incredible legal mind."
