People sometimes ask us, should they consider changing lawyers? 

We give them a list of warning signs.  You probably need a new lawyer if:

bulletDuring your initial consultation, he tries to sell you Amway products.

bulletHe tells you that his last good case was a Budweiser.

bulletWhen the opposing lawyers see who your lawyer is, they high-five each other.

bulletHe picks the jury by playing "duck-duck-goose."

bulletDuring the trial, you catch him playing his Gameboy.

bulletHe asks a hostile witness to "pull my finger."

bulletA prison guard is shaving your head.

bulletEvery couple of minutes he yells, "I call Jack Daniels to the stand!" and drinks a shot.

bulletHe frequently gives Juror No. 4 the finger.

bulletHe places a large "No Refunds" sign on the defense table.

bulletHe begins closing arguments with, "As Ally McBeal once said..."

bulletHe keeps citing the legal case of Godzilla v. Mothra.

bulletJust before trial begins, he whispers, "The judge is the one with the little hammer, right?"

bulletWhen he says "Your Honor," he makes those little quotation marks in the air with his fingers.

bulletThe sign in front of his law office reads "Practicing Law Since 2:25."

bulletWhenever his objection is overruled, he tells the judge, "Whatever."

bulletHe giggles every time he hears the word "briefs."
