Towns most successful Lawyer

A local charity organization realized that the organization had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer.
The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.
"Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a penny to charity.
Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"
The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied,
"First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness,
and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?"
Embarrassed, the donation seeker mumbled, "Um ... no."
The lawyer interrupts, "or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?"
The person coming for donation began to stammer out an apology, but was interrupted again.
"or that my sister`s husband died in a traffic accident,"
the lawyer`s voice rising in indignation,
"leaving her penniless with three children?!"
The person who came asking for donation felt completely humiliated and said simply,
"I had no idea..."
On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again,
"So if I don`t give any money to them, why should I give any to you?"
