Pro tip: Paid a $500 retainer for a real estate attorney who never read my contract before closing

I lost $2,000 on a house inspection issue because my attorney skimmed the fine print and missed a clause about seller liability, so has anyone else had a lawyer rush through documents and how do you vet them properly?

Wait, $2,000? How did the attorney not catch that?

@matthewh28 isn't it standard for them to at least glance at the fine print before you sign?
