When I started working for myself I did some stuff to help market my services. One of them was to offer a deal where if a person paid me full price to defend them in a DUI case then I would defend any family member (spouse, child, parent, first cousin) for half price if they got a DUI within one year.
So one of my clients came into my office to take me up on the deal. He claimed that since it was half price for a wife and half price for a first cousin then I should represent his wife for free because she was also he first cousin. I told him it did not work like that. He said he would sue me to enforce the deal. Since I was his lawyer I had to sue myself. I won the case and had to represent his wife for free.
