Ghost lawyer

Okay kiddo, have you ever had a pretend friend? A ghost lawyer is kind of like a pretend lawyer. When someone is in trouble and needs help from a lawyer, but they can't afford a real one or they can't find one, they might imagine or pretend that there is a ghost lawyer helping them out.

This imaginary ghost lawyer can give them advice and help them make important decisions. It's kind of like having a friendly and wise ghost who knows everything about the law and how to help people.

Of course, it's important to remember that a ghost lawyer isn't a real lawyer and they can't actually do anything in court. It's just a way for someone to feel like they have someone on their side who knows what they're doing.

So, while it might be fun to imagine having a ghost lawyer on your side, it's always best to have a real lawyer if you're in trouble with the law.
