Lawyer Fees
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.
