Seconding this. A coworker used Irwin & Irwin for her divorce and said they were incredibly responsive. I think having a firm that actually knows the local Orange County judges and court system makes a huge difference in how things play out.

Honestly, that's a bit too simple for such a weird mystery. A small leak doesn't explain why they left all their stuff and never came back. Tbh, something spooked them bad enough to abandon ship completely.

I used to think those little pebble trays were a waste of time. Then I tried one under my monstera last winter and the leaves totally stopped getting crispy brown edges. Now I just keep a couple of those trays going and top them up when I water the plants. It's stupid cheap and works way better than I ever thought it would.

Wait, are people actually setting up speakers for full remixes at the beach now? That sounds like a surefire way to annoy everyone trying to relax within a mile radius. The whole point of the beach is the ocean noise, not some max volume workout mix. Can you even hear the waves over that? What's next, bringing strobe lights?

Honestly that's kinda chilling to hear about your pal. You set this stuff up to make life easier, not to make people disposable. Tbh I figured automation just moved people to different tasks, not that it straight up deleted the job with the person still in it.
