When You Think You Know Better Than Your Lawyer

Picture this: a character who’s just been handed some pretty solid legal advice—like, “Don’t talk to the press,” or “Seriously, don’t sign that contract without reading it.” But, you know, they’re convinced they’ve got it all figured out. Maybe they watched a few too many courtroom dramas or just have that stubborn streak. Next thing you know, they’re doing the exact opposite of what their lawyer said, and chaos starts to unfold. I’m imagining a scene where the lawyer is frantically texting while our protagonist is live on TV, spilling everything. Or maybe they ignore a warning about a shady business deal and end up in way over their head. How would you spin this scenario? Would the character’s stubbornness land them in hot water, or could it somehow work out in their favor? Curious to see where this could go…

WHEN YOU THINK YOU KNOW BETTER THAN YOUR LAWYER

I totally get this. I used to think the same—like, why are they nitpicking every tiny measurement? But after going through my own build, I realized those details matter. If you break it down, a missed inch or two on a ramp can mean tearing out concrete later... which is a nightmare. I do wish they'd walk us through their reasoning more often, though. Sometimes it feels like they're just covering every possible scenario, but in construction, that actually makes sense.
