US law is really complicated considering there are no legal books as in the continental law systems, so all laws are explained from court rulings (which have to be found on the internet).
But those were the only lawyers around a 100 miles radius from that handle cases 'like this'. I even tried one over the internet that is on the other side of the state but she tried to do it as a name change, like seriously. I'm so exhausted over this T____T
