Is Michael Cohen's office located in the basement of a nail salon

in a strip mall in Albuquerque?

He must have slept through first-year Contracts. He makes Jimmy McGill look like Clarence Darrow.

I could design an entire law course around the contract (Cohen) and the complaint (Daniels).

(I've already used pieces of both in my bar skills course.)

Note that assigns and designees are included, but consent of all parties is not required.

Like someone who actually passed a bar exam somewhere, who stated in a document filed with an actual court, asserting that failure to sign an agreement renders the contract void.

Might make it unenforceable, but not void under any principles of law I'm aware of.

at our neighborhood co-op here in ABQ. There were few other customers in the store at the time. She loved getting a chance to talk to him and reported that he was very nice, polite.

And Jimmy McGill isn't as sleazy as Michael Cohen - he tried to do the right thing, at least for awhile.

I sometimes think comedy writers are making this stuff up, but I don't know if that's possible!

Every profession has a certain percentage of incompetents and nutballs. A guy like Trump attracts them, like flies to manure.
