I'll tell a little story on this..
My brother went to barb his hair in Abuja and he was charged 18k become idiot with the same skin and hair colour as usual came before to barb and dye his hair at the same place and paid 18k stupidly. So the barbers tried to charge my brother...
.....the same (after all,the oyibo before paid it, so why can't he pay the same).
This is what we encourage when we pay these kinds of money just because we can afford it. Without consideration to the people that'll come after us that cannot afford such that we'd stress.
Nobody talks about how exhausting it is to constantly be the strong one.
Sometimes, you just want someone to notice that you are tired without having to explain it.
May you find the kind of peace that doesn’t require you to pretend you are okay. ❤️
On this, my chief @Dayvidddddddddd has corrected me, there is no breach in number 3 as the lawyer has the right to withdraw his services at any point during the case if there is a conflict of interest or morality in the case.
Then for number 2, the lawyer can ask to be paid "quantum merit" rather than withholding all fees paid to him as legal fees.
Quantum Meruit- Latin legal phrase meaning "as much as he has deserved".
