Thanks for explaining the analogy. If you go to a restaurant (particularly a nice one, similar to having a good lawyer), the waiter interprets your order as it applies to your specific case. They might know a wine that will compliment your order, or handle your food allergy, or get you a specific setting if you're with a date vs. eating alone vs. a business dinner, handle special requests with the kitchen, etc. etc. etc. And to relate your anecdotes, there are simple and complex orders at restaurants too.

Of course the analogy breaks down because you generally tip after the meal and lawyers want money up front, the stakes with food obviously aren't as high (usually; people do die from food allergies after all) but y'know, it's an analogy. Waiters and lawyers aren't *actually* the same thing, but they are comparable in some ways.

Some lawyers work on contingency, that's kind of like a tip - performance based.

Fair point.
