Tear into solicitor and get high (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trip out

'get high' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'tear into solicitor' is the wordplay.
'tear' becomes 'rip' (ripping is a kind of tearing).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'solicitor' becomes 'tout' (I've seen this before).
'rip' inserted inside 'tout' is 'TRIP OUT'.

'and' is the link.

(Another definition for trip out that I've seen is " Stop working, currently".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
