re: The Least Respectable Professions

Ah, so we are referring to advertising attorneys? I have to say I am not in complete disagreement on many of the tv ads i see. I worked for a very reputable firm. When the founding partner announced his retirement the managing partner subsumed the firm and started running tv ads and i found another position. But I think it was because knowing him, it was not about helping injured clients but solely about him putting a rarri in his garage.

Advertising attorneys are a special group as their only goal is to sign you up and refer you to an actual litigator. In order to maintain referrals, the litigator is forced to take a lot of shite to keep the good cases.
