    A man went to his lawyer and told him, "My neighbor owes me
    $500 and he doesn't want to pay up. What should I do?"

    "Do you have any proof?" asked the lawyer.

    "Nope," replied the man.

    "Okay, then write him a letter asking him for the $1000 he owed
    you," said the lawyer.

    "But it's only $500," replied the man.

    "Precisely. That's what he will reply and we will have the
    proof we need to nail him."

    "I'm beginning to think that my lawyer is too interested in
    making money."

    "Why do you say that?"

    "Listen to this from his bill: 'For waking up at night and
    thinking about your case: $250’."

    I know that we have a couple lawyers here on the board, and I REALLY admire one of them in particular (stillconcerned, who is one of the lawyers prosecuting the child abuse cases in CA).

    Here is a sly joke aimed at the ones who are nothing like her:

    (ahem)

    Q: What do you have when a lawyer is up to his neck in concrete?

    A: Not enough concrete.

    what's the difference between a lawyer and a prostitute? A prostitute will stop screwing you when you're dead.

    A defendant was on trial for murder. There was strong
    evidence indicating guilt, but there was no corpse. In the
    defense's closing statement the lawyer, knowing that his
    client would probably be convicted, resorted to a trick.

    "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you
    all," the lawyer said as he looked at his watch. "Within one
    minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into
    this courtroom." He looked toward the courtroom door. The
    jurors, somewhat stunned, all looked on eagerly. A minute
    passed. Nothing happened.

    Finally the lawyer said, "Actually, I made up the previous
    statement. But you all looked on with anticipation. I
    therefore put to you that you have a reasonable doubt in
    this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that
    you return a verdict of not guilty."

    The jury, clearly confused, retired to deliberate. A few
    minutes later, the jury returned and pronounced a verdict
    of guilty.

    "But how?" inquired the lawyer. "You must have had some
    doubt; I saw all of you stare at the door."

    The jury foreman replied: "Yes, we did look, but your
    client didn't."
