Axl thought and thought. Maybe he could get Older Axl to act as James's Lawyer and he could act as Jimmy's Lawyer? Technically, Older Axl and Axl were two different People, just close Family Members.
Jimmy went to his room. Axl told Billy and Andy his thoughts and Billy asked "Axl, are you out of your mind? Asking Older Axl to act as James's Lawyer? Older Axl barely even wanted James to live with him and now you're thinking of asking him to act as James's Lawyer?
Andy said,"Do you REALLY think Older Axl would go for this?
Axl was like,"It can't hurt to ask him. Billy and Andy both shook their heads in a "Please don't do it!" Gesture.
Axl said,"I'm still going for it!"
Billy said verbally,"Baby, please don't ask Older Axl to act as James's Lawyer."
Andy said,"It's a plain bad idea. A good Manager listens to his Clients' objections and pleas." Billy backed him up
Axl's stomach churned. He understood that Andy and Billy definitely didn't want him to ask Older Axl to act as James's Lawyer.
He told them he wouldn't ask Older Axl to act as James's Lawyer."
Billy and Andy breathed sighs of relief.
Axl said maybe he could just plain hire two different Lawyers for James and Jimmy.
Billy and Andy said they thought that was better than asking Older Axl to act as James's Lawyer.
Mike came out of his room(Jimmy was still in his room) and they all chatted about this.
Mike said," Actually, letting James and Jimmy pick their OWN lawyers would be ideal."
Billy, Axl, and Andy thought Mike's suggestion was good. Mike smiled.
Jimmy came out of his room and Mike, Billy, Axl, and Andy asked him how he felt about picking his own lawyer for his upcoming court case against James.
Jimmy responded,"I'd be okay with choosing my own lawyer." Everybody smiled.
They went to a law firm and Jimmy chose his own lawyer. He paid the lawyer half upfront. He would pay him the rest after the case. His lawyer practiced the court case with him. They all chatted and then said their goodbyes and left.
They went home and ate and drank. Jimmy fell asleep and Axl called James and gave him a warning to get his own lawyer, one that was NOT the same person Jimmy had chosen for obvious reasons. Axl told him Jimmy's lawyer's name. James thanked him for his suggestions and he welcomed him.
The next day, James hired a different lawyer than Jimmy and paid him half upfront. They practiced the case.
The next day, Jimmy's court date, Mike, Axl, Jimmy Billy and Andy got ready for the court date and went to court. Jimmy's lawyer practiced the court case with him again.
