“We've Collected Millions for Our Clients in Judgments & Settlements!”

I thought that this Silly Blog article would analyze the above self-promoting statement of several of the radio, television and billboard legal hustlers.

  1. They never mention verdicts because that is hard work and will adversely affect their ability to pay for their expensive advertising budget because they often settle cheap and most of the time below the real value of the case to the detriment of the client.

 2. "Collected Millions"--Over what period of time?  I've been practicing for over fifty years and if I had only averaged settling one case a year for $20,000 that comes to one million.  This will qualify me for another "deceptive advertising" badge of being a Million Dollar Advocate.

 3. If I settled one case a year for $40,000 I can buy a Multi-Million Dollar badge to put on my website and falsely advertise my alleged accomplishments. 

The above examples are exaggerations but they technically qualify to buy an expensive badge and misrepresent the attorneys’ record of achievement.  

How about it big spenders?  Simply list your jury verdicts (not settlements or judgments) and what year(s) did you get one million dollars (or more) jury award and then you may not be guilty of "deceptive advertising" and the Silly Blog will give you a compliment!  It's waiting...

 P.S. It might help establish your credibility if you listed the name of the Court, Division, and date of your big verdict.

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