What is the problem with "Die Frau hat nicht Rechtsanwälte." ?

You use 'kein' to negate a noun and 'nichts' to negate a verb.

Wow, I totally didn't realize that! Thanks!

What about "Die Frau hat Rechtsanwälte nicht"? Is that equivalent?

"Die Frau hat keine Rechtsanwalt." is compatible with a situation in which she has no lawyers. Obviously, if she has no lawyer then she has no lawyers, and vice versa.
