My lawyer committed a felony in my name. He took out a small loan ' only five thousand ' and forged my signature to do it. When it came out, everything collapsed at once. His practice, his reputation, his family. He's serving fifteen years in prison now. What still turns my stomach is the reason. His child was seriously ill. He was desperate. He needed money fast. When I learned that, all I could think was how easily it could have been avoided. If he had asked me, I would have given it to him without thinking. I trusted him with everything already. Instead, he chose fraud. He chose my name. I lost a lawyer. He lost a life. And his child lost years with a father who could have stayed free.
