You Know You Need A New Lawyer When:

The prosecutor sees your lawyer in the hall, and they high-five each other.
During your initial consultation he tries to sell you Amway.
He tells you that his last good case was a "Budweiser."
He picks the jury by playing "duck-duck-goose."
During the trial you catch him playing his Gameboy.
Just before he says "Your Honor," he makes those little quotation marks in the air with his fingers.
Whenever his objection is overruled, he tells the judge, "Whatever."
He keeps citing the legal case of Godzilla v. Mothra.
He begins closing arguments with, "As Ally McBeal once said..."
