ROFL! Liza you kill me!  I work for a law firm and this cartoon is going to be posted in the kitchen right after I hit the submit button!

You just gave me a much needed laugh!

Thanks, Belinda!  Loved doing this one. Lawyers are easy targets, actually.

                                  SWIMMING WITH SHARKS

Ah, the sharks in the gray flannel suits

who appear out of nowhere, looking grim, carrying loot 

from clients who have won their cases

from lawyers who cover their bases

and  who are always chasing those waves

that will bring them more greenbacks & a whole lot more raves.

Lol. Totally describes how most people react to us, excluding friends and family who need free advice…

Lawyers are all wet.

I worked for two large law firms, 25 years.   Those folks in the cartoon should be running faster.   Nothing worse than a talking, corporate, shark.

My son is a newly minted attorney but I think he would also laugh at the cartoon.

I think its a laugh/cry, love/hate sort of relationship. It can be frustrating when you are trying to do a good thing but folks won’t even talk to you when they find out you are a lawyer.  At the same time, we deal with the guys that give us all the bad reputations every day, and most of us dislike them as much or more than non-lawyers do!
