My lawyer, Tony, works in a small 2 person law firm and he told me that he had a client come in one day for some advice. Took only 5 minutes but charged him a $100 fee. His client got mad for the high price, but still opened up his wallet and threw down a $100 bill onto his desk and left. Tony picked up the money and was handling it when he realized that there was another $100 bill stuck together making it $200. Obviously a mistake but immediately his ethics training kicked in was faced with an ethical question, "Should I tell my partner?"
