"Tax Attorney"
A certain tax attorney took on a very complex
case of tax evasion for a rather mysterious
client. He devoted over a year to the case,
familiarizing himself with every loophole and
angle of current legislation, and made a
brilliant argument before the court.
His client was called out of town when the jury
returned with its verdict, a sweeping victory for
his client on every count. Flushed with victory,
the lawyer exuberantly cabled his client, "Justice
has triumphed!"
A realistic fellow, the client immediately wired
back, "Appeal at once!"

"Criminal Attorney"
A criminal lawyer, Robinson was notorious for
finding the little loopholes that won him acquittals
even in the most difficult circumstances. So it
was he that Milliken hired when he was accused
of grand theft auto. And it was Milliken who walked
out of the courtroom a free man, after a lengthy
trial and some brilliant footwork on Robinson's part.
The very next day Milliken appeared in the chambers
of the judge who had presided over his trial and
demanded a warrant for Robinson's arrest.
"Why on Earth do you want him arrested?" asked
the judge. "He got you off, didn't he?"
"Yeah," conceded Milliken, "but when I didn't have
enough money to pay his fee, the son-of-a-gun
drove off in that car I stole!"
