TV Advertising lawyer sued.
Today the local newspaper for Colorado Springs indicated that a Colorado attorney is being sued. He touts himself and the firm as the "Strong Arm". He does what I consider massive advertising. This is bound to lead to many cases and some are upset with the results obtained by him. Of course no one can guarantee results and such advertising is expensive. But it does mean a very heavy caseload is likely. Also it can be suggestive of a settlement mill where cases are moved along and settled fast. The article reports the cost of the ads exceeds $100000 a month. That expense and the overall expense of more then one office and staff does complicate a practice. My preference is a one on one practice where each case is handled thoroughly and the goal is to protect and maximize benefits. It is personal and labor intensive. I do see where that effort can be compromised if you have too many cases or too much overhead to feed. In any event a lawsuit is just a claim and we'll have to see what comes of it. My concern is not that there is heavy TV advertising. That is one way to get your name out there. My concern is with the content of some of the ads. In 15 or 30 seconds the lawyer may be made out to be a legal magician. And that is pure fantasy. Anyway here is the article.
