Just "yes."

For one thing, the best attorneys are not based on what "money can buy." The quality of an attorney is not measured by how much money he/she charges. Some of the very best attorneys charge quite reasonable rates.

Secondly, even the best attorney, with a genius IQ and the highest skillset ever known in the practice of law, cannot prevent your opponent from obtaining that which is available under due process of law.
