You have a good point and I essentially agree with it. but, my take on it is that in searching for a legit attorney, Corley found a legit attorney who is not quite satisfied that the report (I'm assuming that there is a report) is not quite up to snuff. You see, the problem with honest attorneys is ... that they are honest ... and expect their clients to be, also.
Of course it could be something as simple as Corley just doesn't want to pay as much as the attorney wants. lol
