My Son Left Me Behind on Thanksgiving and Flew His Family to Hawaii—So Friday Morning, I Called Movers and Took Back Everything I Had Paid For

PART 3 — THE BLUE FOLDER

Linda Hayes was an attorney in private practice.

Evelyn knew her through a volunteer legal clinic.

Linda handled elder financial matters, property disputes, and estate planning.

She agreed to review my records that afternoon.

Her office was small.

A black pen lay beside a yellow legal pad.

A framed photograph of two dogs stood near her computer.

She didn’t waste time telling me how terrible my family sounded.
