Lawyer

A lawyer often touches entanglement with formal dispute and the indiscretions that draw mortifying scrutiny. The dream may ask where you risk a misstep that invites unflattering criticism, what tidings the figure of legal trouble brings, and how careful to be when your conduct may end up under another's contesting eye.
