The answer isn't "Make mine a double!"

Unless, you've picked the wrong lawyer.
From the Capital Times (http://www.madison.com/archives/read.php?ref=/tct/2007/01/25/0701250376.php) of Madison, Wis.:

The moral of the story: If you're busted for drunken driving, call your lawyer--but first make sure he's sober.

Former County Supervisor Patrick DePula, 34, apparently didn't follow that maxim this morning, and now his lawyer, Rick Petri, also faces a charge of drunken driving. . . .

DePula was stopped about 11:45 p.m. in downtown Madison by Madison police. He was given a field sobriety test and was arrested at 12:07 a.m. today.

Petri was arrested at 2:46 a.m., when, Hanson said, "he came to pick (DePula) up."

"They were released to a responsible party," Hanson said.

One wonders if the responsible party had been admitted to the Bar.

That's messed up but funny as hell.

I like the pun at the end.

That guy should get off, just for having an awesome lawyer.

At least the lawyer can represent himself. Legal fees suck!
