How To Avoid A Lawsuit

Many people use a lawyer after
they’ve gotten themselves into trouble. 
Me, I use a lawyer to avoid trouble. 

Some people prey on the weak,
the employee least likely to sue,
the neighbor with no idea of her rights. 

I’d rather not be that person so
what I do is subtly let people know
that I have legal counsel. 
I’ll make jokes every once in a while
about “how my lawyer’d like that”
or how I drive my lawyer crazy.
I ALWAYS take legal documents
home before signing,
stating that I’ll have my lawyer look over it 
(whether I do or don’t). 

The best lawsuit is the prevented lawsuit.
