Lawyer Fees

*jazz lady* ^(Premo) · 06-03-2003, 05:50 PM

A lawyer had successfully handled a difficult law case for a
wealthy friend. Following the happy outcome of the case, the
friend and client called on the lawyer, expressed his appreciation
of his work and handed him a handsome Moroccan leather wallet.

The lawyer looked at the wallet in astonishment and handed it back with a sharp reminder that a wallet could not possible compensate him for his services. "My fee for that work," acidly snapped the attorney, "is five hundred dollars."

The client opened the wallet, removed a one-thousand dollar bill, replaced it with a five-hundred dollar bill and handed it back to the lawyer with a smile.
