....but I can't stand the ambulance chasing breed of lawyers who use the same "doomsday music bed" across all of their commercials. You'd know the eerie music if you heard it.
It's been used for well over a decade now, and likely these ambulance chasers are all a part of the same national network of lawyers.

I don't understand law firms advertising on national TV (actual firms, not referral networks such as Guardian Legal). I live in Michigan. If I want to sue the bejeebers out of someone, I'm not calling that attorney in Puerto Rico.

Do some of our more famous (infamous?) SE Michigan attorneys advertise in other states? Like Sam, Mike and the ubiquitous GF (despite him supposedly being disabled and not able to go to court anymore).

That's a feature, not a bug.

I have hypersomnia and other sleep issues, and trust me, there isn't anything good about sleeping that much.

I just lost the ability to scan, cut, copy, paste or do anything with my mouse... again!
UPDATE: June 7, 2023: I gained it back. I have no idea why that crap happened.
UPDATE: June 8, 2023; Now, it's preventing me from right-clicking again.

See https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/979/attorney-advertising . Starting in 1908, the American Bar Association (ABA) barred advertising beyond business cards, and states passed laws prohibiting the advertising shortly thereafter. However, the Supreme Court in 1977 stuck down said laws as stating that “the disciplinary rule serves to inhibit the free flow of commercial information and to keep the public in ignorance.” However, false, deceptive, or misleading attorney advertising would not be protected.
It should be noted that eighty percent of the United States population lives in the eastern half of the continental United States. If you are a new cable station, for example, you would establish an East Coast feed first, and then a West Coast feed later. In terms of advertising, I remember seeing national advertising years ago for Sonic even though there was no franchises in Northern California on the USA Network. Likewise, it is possible for the large law firms to have offices in multiple states and agreements for referrals in other states.
