Typical solicitor

[rebbonk]

A man went to his solicitor and told him, "My neighbor owes me £500 and he doesn't want to pay up. What should I do?"

"Do you have any proof?" asked the solicitor.

"Nope," replied the man.

"Okay, then write him a letter asking him for the £1000 he owed you," said the solicitor.

"But it's only £500," replied the man.

"Precisely.

Spoiler:

That's what he will reply and we will have the proof we need to nail him."
