Lawyer: "Now that you have been acquitted, will you tell me the truth? Did you steal the
car?"

Client: "After hearing your amazing arguments in court this morning, I'm beginning to
think I didn't."
   
A client who felt his legal bill was too high asked his lawyer to itemize costs.
The statement included this item:

"I was walking down the street and saw you on the other side. I walked to the
corner to cross at the light, crossed the street and walked quickly to catch up
with you. I got close and saw it wasn't you. - $50.00."


The new attorney was desperate for business, and was happy to be appointed
by the court to defend an indigent defendant.

The judge ordered the attorney to confer with the defendant in the hallway,
and give him the best legal advice he could.

After a time, the attorney re-entered the courtroom without the defendant.

When the judge asked where the defendant had gone, the attorney replied,
"You ordered me to give him the best advice I could. He told me that he was
guilty, so I told him to disappear."


A lawyer, a used car salesman and a banker were gathered by a coffin
containing the body of an old friend. In his grief, one of the three said, "In my
family, we have a custom of giving the dead some money, so they'll have
something to spend over there."

They all agreed that this was appropriate. The banker dropped a hundred
dollar bill into the casket, and the car salesman did the same. The lawyer took
out the bills and wrote a check for $300.
