...

So that's when the bereaved Mrs. Durgee lawyered up.

....

(From the script of CSI)

Is the sentence correct?

(I think yes. But is such kind of speech-transition common enough for us to imitate? ..or is lawyer also a verb? )



Thanks in advance!

"lawyered up" is slang for "obtained the services of a lawyer"...
