It’s Your Livelihood!

This Silly Blog post is to the approximately 1,102 lawyers minus about 20 lawyer advertisers that are listed in Hamilton County in the 2020 Tennessee Attorney’s Directory.

            Of course, that large number includes defense attorneys, non-practicing lawyers, in-house counsel, and a variety of licensed attorneys that do not actively practice law.  Therefore, many of you just sit back and laugh or ignore the often “deceptive advertisements” that the public is subjected to any time they turn on a radio or television or drive down any public street or thoroughfare and see a billboard soliciting personal injury cases.

            The large number of practicing attorneys who do nothing to stop your pocket from being picked by the self-appointed “Best of    ?                ” and their ad agencies and media commentators that are reaping big fees that adversely affect two groups—the clients and…..you!  To you these messages are directed.

            The lethargy of the hardworking attorneys who lose their clients as the result of slick ads, false representations, and often deceptive advertising for whatever reason is deplorable.

            If you are not too honorable to take on the legal advertisers as an individual, do it as a group and collectively inform the public of the other side of the story which explains that cases are being settled too quickly by most of the lawyers advertising for their financial benefit and to the detriment of the clients who we as lawyers take an oath to protect.

I encourage you to buy local products and hire local, reputable attorneys!
