After drafting a will for an elderly client, the attorney announced a fee of $400.
After drafting a will for an elderly client, the attorney announced a fee of $400. The client gave the attorney cash and went on his way.
After the client left, the attorney saw that the client had in fact paid $800, as some of the client's $100 bills had stuck together.
Looking at the $400 overpayment, the inevitable ethical question arose in the attorney's mind:
"Do I tell my partner?"
Moral of the Story: Everyone has a different view of what is ethical.
