It's not even about the lawyer.

It's about the fact that you could pay a lawyer that much. Which is why GoFundMe campaigns for legal costs don't automatically work.

Usually it's about having permanent access to a lawyer to cover your legal ass before you get caught, as that's where the best legal loopholes are, and about what laws were broken. GoFundMe campaigns are usually for laws affecting mostly the poor, which tend to be much harsher and broader than the laws that rich people usually break.

Pricey is a good word.
