I agree that it is smart to say "get a lawyer" in this situation. It does seem very hairy.
But now something off topic...
I noticed that these kind of answers ("get a lawyer") are used also to answer question even when people are just curious or they just want to learn something. It is nearly impossible to learn what needs to be read or investigated in order to evaluate the situation.
For example, I don't need a lawyer for small claims court but where to get some advise?
In other words, even the most common sense questions regarding law, health, taxes, etc are answered with "get a lawyer, see a doctor, get tax advisor, get accountant, etc".
It does seems that market of legal, health, tax, and similar professionals is due to a disruption.
Is there a cheap lawyer service? Something like not visiting doctor but just visiting nurse.
