Apparently this ambulance chaser, makes a court settlement seem like it's winning a prize from a lottery.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

Well you are in the state that brought us the 1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheater.

So...if lawyers aren't supposed to advertise, then how are they supposed to drum up new business?

Debunked on page 1 of this thread.

Not exactly.  It used to be the case that lawyers were not allowed to advertise.  They could place passive ads, like a listing in the yellow pages, but not active ones like broadcast or flyers through the mail.  Business came from word of mouth, and they were allowed to do things like donate to causes and get a thank-you mention somewhere.  I suppose it made it hardest on new attorneys who weren't part of an established practice.

That rule was changed I think in the 1970s.  Then you started seeing their ads everywhere.
