Lawyer Jokes

An Honest Lawyer

An investment counselor went out on her own. She was shrewd
and diligent, so business kept coming in, and pretty soon she
realized she needed an in-house counsel, so she began
interviewing young lawyers.

"As I'm sure you can understand," she started off with one
of the first applicants, "in a business like this, our
personal integrity must be beyond question." She leaned
forward. "Mr. Peterson, are you an *honest* lawyer?"

"Honest?" replied the job prospect. "Let me tell you
something about honest. Why, I'm so honest that my father
lent me fifteen thousand
dollars for my education and I paid back every penny the
minute I tried
my very first case."

"Impressive. And what sort of case was that?"

The lawyer squirmed in his seat and admitted, "He sued me
for the money."
