Bad Lawyer Ads (Just Kidding)

It's the end of the semester.  Usually I post some of the latest "Bad Lawyer Ads" for the duration.  This year, the post is just for fun from the fictional Saul Goodman.  Have a great summer.  See you in the Fall.

More Bad Lawyer Ads

Just to be clear, it's the ads that are bad.  I make no representations about the lawyers.

It's Thanksgiving break week, so there are no substantive posts this week. But in keeping with tradition, there are bad ads. Click here for earlier posts in the series.

It is basketball season, after all:

Hardcore Egomaniacal Lawyers

It can be a fine line between being confident and being self-aggrandizing. Lawyers, schmoozed by a slick advertising agency, can have some trouble staying on the right side of the line.

Bad Lawyer Ads #3

This is final exam week at UConn so, normally, I would post something on the lighter side. I went  looking for humorous lawyer ads to post and found the video below, Unfortunately, this ad, ostensibly intended to be clever turned out to be disturbing.

How can you be a lawyer who purports to make a living advancing the rights of innocent injury victims yet embrace the stereotype of "bullying" insurance companies into unfairly paying money to your clients after a "shakedown"?  Where is our credibility, as a profession, in advocating for a fair civil justice system when we sink to pandering for business at the expense of principles? An ad like this emboldens the cause of "tort deformers," and cheapens the search for justice.

I hesitated to post the ad here for fear that I would be giving it unwarranted exposure. But toward the greater interest of education, we all need to know what is happening out there and to what forces of "mis-education" our students may be exposed.
