Compliments to a Lawyer Advertiser
When I started the Silly Blog on May 31, 2017, it was and still is my intent to hit hard but fair blows against those who engage in daily promotions in their legal quest to sign up cases, primarily in the personal injury and bankruptcy fields that cross over into what I consider to be “deceptive legal advertising,” which was allegedly banned in 1977 by the United States Supreme Court but which is now the norm.
It has become customary by the self-promoters to claim to be experienced and capable trial lawyers who can get you a fast settlement and judgment (but not jury verdict results). The 2017 and 2018 list of verdicts as reported in Tennessee Jury Verdict Reporter articles on March 25, 2019, and April 25, 2018, articles in the Silly Blog were absent of any verdicts by the Chattanooga media advertisers.
However, in 2019 we finally have a jury verdict by one of the Insider’s, (name purchased from John McMahan) Jay Kennamer, who was only offered $75,000 to settle a car wreck and a Hamilton County jury gave his client $135,000 in damages.
Since this is the only recent jury verdict by any of the local or out-of-state self-promoters, the Silly Blog out of a sense of fairness wishes to publicly announce to its readers of this result.
In addition to his fellow lawyers on the TTLA list serve, the Silly Blog commends Jay on his successful result and gives its opinion that if more cases are tried better results would be achieved to award clients and might be able to further pay to reduce high media advertising costs. The old adage: “A rising tide lifts all boats is directly applicable to Jury Verdicts.”
I encourage you to buy local products and hire local, reputable attorneys!
