1. During your initial consultation he tries to sell you Amway.<br /><br /> 2. He tells you that his last good case was a "Budweiser."<br /><br /> 3. When the prosecutors see who your lawyer is, they high-five each other.<br /><br /> 4. He picks the jury by playing "duck-duck-goose."<br /><br /> 5. During the trial you catch him playing his Gameboy.<br /><br /> 6. He asks a hostile witness to "pull my finger."<br /><br /> 7. A prison guard is shaving your head.<br /><br /> 8. Every couple of minutes he yells, "I call Jack Daniels to the stand!"<br /> and proceeds to drink a shot.<br /><br /> 9. He frequently gives juror No. 4 the finger.<br /><br /> 10. He places a large "No Refunds" sign on the defense table.<br /><br /> 11. He begins closing arguments with, "As Ally McBeal once said..."<br /><br /> 12. He keeps citing the legal case of Godzilla v. Mothra.<br /><br /> 13. Just before trial starts he whispers, "The judge is the one with the<br /> little hammer, right?"<br /><br /> 14. Just before he says "Your Honor," he makes those little quotation<br /> marks in the air with his fingers.<br /><br /> 15. His law office sign reads "Practicing Law Since 2:25pm."<br /><br /> 16. Whenever his objection is overruled, he tells the judge, "Whatever."<br /><br /> 17. He giggles every time he hears the word "briefs."<br /> :D :D :D

Signs that your lawyer really knows how to pick a jury...<br /><br />An old country farmer is caught by his neighbor having sex with one of his sheep, and the neighbor of course calls the police. He gets arrested and calls his friend from jail, asking for help.<br /><br />His friend gets him out on bail and says, "I found two lawyers, one is really expensive and should be able to get you off, the other is really cheap but he sure knows how to pick a jury." The guy says he'll take the cheap one because he doesn't have a lot of money.<br /><br />The trial day comes and the lady is called to the witness stand and is asked what she saw. She says, "I saw this man in his back yard having his way with a sheep. When he was done the sheep turned around and...well, licked him clean."<br /><br />At this point one juror leans over to another and says, "The good ones will do that you know."
