Better than saying her brother made $15,000 last year working in a lumberyard in Carencro.

How about the abject hypocrisy where Jesus said a rich man could not get into Heaven? Where's that Billboard Bible quote EL Gordo?

He's complaining about a multi-millionaire ambulance chaser spending big money to put up billboards saying how meek and pure of heart we should all be.

If you can get in, corporate law or insurance defense is just much safer career path.
Perhaps a bit "safer", but with little upside potential. From a litigation standpoint, commercial litigation is more lucrative than insurance defense simply because commercial clients will pay higher billable rates. Of course, the competition to get those commercial clients can be tough. Pure insurance defense (think Allstate, State Farm, USAA, etc) can provide good volume, but the billable rates are low with the insurance companies ALWAYS looking to cut each invoice by 10% - 30%. Frankly, the insurance companies don't care all that much about they quality of the attorney. They just want to close claims and spend a little as possible doing so. Some might say they hate paying their lawyers almost as much as they hate paying plaintiffs.
Plaintiff's PI work can be very lucrative...if you can routinely get good cases. The problem is that competition is fierce and many of the "TV lawyers" are taking all of the cases. It can be very difficult for a small, even solo, PI attorney to consistently bring in business unless he/she has a very good referral base. The general public in inundated with PI attorney ads. So unless they already have a personal relationship with a lawyer, they will generally just go with one of the "TV guys" simply from name recognition. That's why you are seeing a colossal influx of TV ads. Even from small PI firms that, frankly, would prefer to not advertise that aggressively. If they don't, they feel their clients will completely dry up.

You gotta respect Gordon’s billboards. He has zero shame.

Take a look at the demographics to which personal injury attorney advertising is targeted and you tell me. Public transportation, daytime TV, bus stops and billboards in shitty areas.

When I started at my firm in the 90s we had a division that did auto/home insurance defense work but it was also at the time insurance companies started to squeeze the fees for defense work. By the early 2000s we got rid of it. We still do some tort defense but in the med-mal, products, toxic/mass torts arena. Plaintiff work in wreck cases is potentially far more lucrative than defense work.

The PI billboard lawyers may be PULLING IN big settlements, but they are paying a high price in support staff and advertising. Their take home is a different number.
I know plenty to solo PI, criminal defense, Divorce, and Estate lawyers making close to seven figures or over. It is all about keeping overhead low.

Plaintiff/personal injury lawyers are feast and famine. Litigation/insurance defense lawyers eat steady.
The equity partners in the big firms (Phelps, Jones Walker, Taylor Porter) make good money and the ones that do corporate/transactional or heavy duty tort defense make REALLY good money. They're the ones with BRCC and City Club memberships, kids at Episcopal with nice cars, houses in Bocage or off Highland Road (as well as memberships at nice hunting camps and second houses in other states).
They have it, but don't flaunt it.
