After I saved my husband’s life, he tried to take it all — yet my daughter caught the courtroom off guard: “I want to show you something that Mom doesn’t know about.”
Nick turned, irritated. “What?”
Daniel’s expression had changed completely.
“I can’t represent you anymore.”
Nick blinked. “What are you talking about?”
“You used me.”
“You deliberately misled this court,” Daniel said evenly. “And you just admitted a lot of things out loud.”
Nick laughed sharply. “You’re my lawyer!”
“I was,” Daniel corrected.
He turned to me. “Ma’am, I can’t undo what’s been done, but you deserve proper representation.”
He pulled out a business card and handed it to me.
“Call this number. Use my name. They’ll take your case pro bono.”
“You’re my lawyer!”
Nick stared at him. “You’re choosing her?”
