Lawyers love commas, and, in some cases, the lack of them.

Can the comma after "commas" be removed?

Thanks.

According to my Grammarly app, the first comma shouldn't exist. The rest seem fine.

@tsarstepan,
The first comma cannot be removed.

@Glennn,
I would leave the first comma in. Commas are used when you pause, change direction, and for many other reasons. If you feel it makes the sentence clearer to the reader, leave it in. There is a list somewhere on the internet describing the 11 uses of commas that I used when I taught ESL.

@Mame,
The pause removes the potential for believing that what comes after "and" is included in what lawyers love to do.
