And Hooray for THIS!
Tired of misleading and ridiculous TV ads? "Do you breathe? Sue the doctor who delivered you 45 years later." "Got drunk and drove into a building? Sue the contractor who built the wall too hard." Enough is enough. Nothing has brought the reputations of attorneys and the legal profession to a lower point than these stupid advertisements. Time is overdue to clean them up.
Trial Lawyers Bar Backs Tougher Rules for Attorney Ads:
New York's Academy of Trial Lawyers says the proposed tough new rules on attorney advertising are welcome, overdue and, if anything, don't go far enough. "We need to take back the profession and restore some dignity so people respect and understand the causes that we stand for and realize that they are legitimate, appropriate and meritorious," says the group's president, Robert Lahm. The academy is the first major bar to comment publicly about the proposed rules announced last month.
