I have no words.
How was not hiring an attorney even an option.
Glad it worked out for you, but that was a risk the kid shouldn't have had to take.

I think people have different risk/reward profiles - I have no issue with that.
Personally speaking, I would have hired an attorney to see if I could have improved my odds of a better (different) outcome or even this outcome with marginally higher certainty.
It would bother me if my kid had to stay in line for a year - where tripping up would trigger this being on their record.
Maybe this was the best possible outcome in this situation. Even then, I'd take the attorney to make sure we end up with this outcome.
