re: Do other states have a stupid amount of lawyer billboards, or is it only LA?

Every time I drive to New Orleans, I chuckle at how many Gordon McKernan billboards there are. It’s just one after another, particularly around Lafayette.

Then there are a few William Gee and Morris Bart billboards sprinkled in.

I’ve seen maybe like 3-4 along I10 from El Paso to Arizona.

There are more than 10 times that from Lake Charles to B

the injury attorneys do this nonstop, every day, all year long. sure, there are legit injury cases out there that require REAL attorneys, but in the case of the famous billboard attorneys... the above is their bread and butter. it's fricking ridiculous.

Show on the doll where Gordon touched you.

I'd support banning billboards within cities. They are ugly and distracting. That would never pass in Louisiana with all of the current and former attorneys running things.

It's not surprising that these types of lawyers have no shame. They long ago stopped caring about anything but making money.

Professional vultures. My favorite is when I drive through Alexandria on occasion. There's a brazen mother fricker on a billboard kneeling by the traffic circle . What a fricking embarrassment. But fitting. He probably would suck a dick if you paid him enough.

One of the reasons it's so bad in Alabama is that I've heard that one of the lawyers struck a deal with one of the billboard management companies that the lawyer gave them something like two million dollars to have his advertisement up if they couldn't rent out the space to someone else. And since this state is fricked up that no one cares how ugly billboards really are and the state fails to regulate/ restrict them, they are everywhere

Lamar Advertising (Baton Rouge based-largest outdoor advertisers in the country) make an absolute fortune off of these guys. It pays for the Reilly’s lifestyle and pays very well.

They should be included in the “shame” conversation regarding these.

And the commercials that are the same content with different attorneys, Morris Bart, who is the grandfather of TV attorneys realized a long time ago he could make money off fellow attorneys so he built an advertising business which helps other attorneys in both print and television media. He even built his own tv studio, films generic commercials the inserts whichever attorney. He built a nice cottage business.

shite watch a local news broadcast and personal injury commercials can take up a whole break...Gordon, Dudley Debossier and Murphy

Murphy also comes off like a total idiot. His slogan is ripped off and his ad with the slo mo walk in a suit with his hunting dog gives big time douche chills
