re: Have watched about 10 minutes of WBRZ this morning - almost all personal injury lawyers

You know, up until 1977, lawyers were prohibited from advertising.

Except Louisiana has embraced the advertising like no other state I have visited. When we visit Louisiana, my kids always comment about the billboards. They pick a favorite and then see whose favorite has the most billboards.

When I first moved out of state, I went to the local insurance agent to update my auto policy. He sat down at his computer to get my current info and prepared me for the worst. He said how the new state had really high premiums and I need to be prepared to pay more. When my policy info loaded, he said “My God! What kind of drivers are there in LA?” I told him the drivers were like anywhere else but we had bad lawyers.
