These Lawyers Are Red Hot

General Counsel: "Miss Ashley, I'm with the State Bar of Georgia, and I was flooded with telephone calls this morning. Now, why do you think that was, Miss Ashley?"

Ashley: "I can't imagine."

General Counsel: "Miss Ashley, are you aware of Ethics Rule No. 2-101?"

Ashley: "I am."

General Counsel: "Well, I believe you're in violation of that rule."

Ashley: "You must not have read all the way to the end of the name."

The general counsel checked his documentation and called back.

General Counsel: "Do you have a business card that has your name on it?"

Ashley: "Yes, I do."

Ashley faxed him her card, and she never heard back. "Some lawyers may not get it," she says. "They may think that the name's outrageous. But our clients get it. They see us, and they know exactly what we are: red hot!"
