“Legal documents are not meant to be short and sweet, because first of all, they could be lacking key points, and second of all, anything that you saw in law has to be spelled out.” [Lisa, 16:23]
“Something could still go wrong. If something goes wrong, then you want to have insurance on the back end, just like you do for your house, your car, your health and other things in your life.” [Lisa, 19:23]
