I only wish there were a heart instead of a like to give this.
Yesterday, I’m driving down the road thinking how incredibly absurd the number of Gordon billboards I encounter within a mile or two drive. You cannot escape them, and they point to so so so much that is wrong with our society today.

And people wonder why insurance premiums are so high in Louisiana.
People in this state sue for everything.

This is why I quit watching 2une in. Nothing but ambulance chaser commercials, sometimes the same ad played multiple times in a row.

Best thing about this ice out is more Fallon Brown. She is fire.

You know, up until 1977, lawyers were prohibited from advertising. There was a very good reason for doing that, and I think we’re seeing the reasoning displayed in the fallout in our society today.

The scum of the entire legal profession.

Dudley Debosier had a commercial that said something like “if your pipe bursts you call a plumber, and if you get in an accident you call Dudley Debosier.”
Injury attorneys are absolute trash.

While I agree with you... frick the insurance companies... if Louisiana folks weren't exploiting tort laws and suing for every little minor accident.. they would just find another reason to raise rates

The really bad ones are the ones having their clients rack up unnecessary surguries for a grocery list of medical bills and recovery costs to be marked up against insurance companies and most are good about settling. BUT State Farm wont pay frick all for anything even with a Lawyer.

Interesting how large firms with big advertising budgets have taken over markets, cottage industry of personal injury specific ad firms, and big firms w in house production w ability to immediately produce targeted ads after mass casualty events.

ETA: almost forgot the insurance firms have algorithms that pay out differently depending on which lawyer plantiff hires.

It’s something I notice every time I go back to New Orleans from Texas.
Here in Houston, the only personal injury lawyer commercial I see is Jim Adler. When I go back to New Orleans, off the top of my head I see commercials for:
Morris Bart
Dudley DeBosier
Law Tigers
Frank D’Amico
Michael Hingle
The Womac
Chip Forstall
Mike Brandner
Stewart J Guss
Juan LaFonta
and probably a bunch more I’m missing.

We'd be better off if we ban lawyers from advertising and we let cigarette companies start advertising again

The good reasons for not didn't outweigh the reasons to let them like free speech... also established lawyers in certain towns made it hard for a new lawyer to start a practice... with some firms going as far as owning local businesses card shops which were the only way to advertise

Lawyers free speech is greater than cigarette companies free speech I suppose. Of course, when lawyers are politicians and politicians are lawyers, I can see they’ve got their own club to rule the world with, a club the overwhelming majority of Americans simply aren’t members of.
Unfettered greed, that’s what fuels this self destructive beast, not free speech.

Another gift from the Burgher Court.
That decision absolutely should be revisited.
