BEST LAWYER STORY

This took place in Charlotte North Carolina. A lawyer purchased a box of
very rare and expensive ci**rs, then insured them against, among other
things, fire.

Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of these great ci**rs,
the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company.

In his claim, the lawyer stated the ci**rs were lost 'in a series of small
fires.'
The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason, that the
man had consumed the ci**rs in the normal fashion. The lawyer sued and
WON!

(Stay with me.)

Delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company that the
claim was frivolous. ****

The judge stated nevertheless, that the lawyer held a
policy from the company, in which it had warranted that the ci**rs were
insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire,
without defining what is considered to be unacceptable 'fire' and was
obligated to pay the claim.

Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company
accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the
ci**rs that perished in the 'fires'.

NOW FOR THE BEST PART...

After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested
on 24 counts of ARSON!!! ****

With his own insurance claim and testimony from
the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of
intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months
in
jail and a $24,000 fine.

This true story won First Place in last year's Criminal Lawyers Award
contest.

ONLY IN AMERICA!***
