The verbosity is the curse of too much education. A legal background "kind of" tends to lead to being wordy.
The "too much education" thing doesn't strike me as being correct. If anything, college taught me to self-edit myself in the interest of being concise & accurate. You didn't actually graduate with any sort of legal degree, did you?
