THIS IS THE BEST LAWYER STORY OF THE YEAR,
DECADE, and PROBABLY THE CENTURY.

A Charlotte, NC lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars,
then insured them against fire, among other things. Within a month, having
smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having
made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed claim
against the insurance company. In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars
were lost "in a series of small fires." The insurance company refused to
pay, citing the obvious reason that the man had consumed the cigars in the
normal fashion.
The lawyer sued.. And WON!

(stay with me)

In 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 cigars 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 &costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the
ruling and paid
$15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost 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, was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine.

This is a true story and was the First Place winner in The recent Criminal
Lawyers Award Contest.

ONLY IN AMERICA!

NO WONDER THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES THINK WE'RE NUTS.
