Another Personal Pet Peeve (Attorneys)

Another Personal Pet Peeve (Attorneys)

Is it just me or is anyone else sick and tired of seeing ads on TV from attorneys that urge the viewer to, "Call me if you've been injured in an auto accident, fell on a sidewalk, was frowned at by someone, was racial profiled, drank a lot of liquor and fell down the steps, etc, 'We can get money for you. You don't pay unless we get money for you!"

Back in the halcyon days attorneys were forbidden from hawking their dubious wares on the airwaves and that was a good thing. Then a number of years ago the ABA began to lobby to allow attorneys to shill for business on radio and TV. Of course the lobby was successful and now we're beset with these modern day bandits urging all and sundry to sue, sue, sue!

There is an old joke that goes like this. Question: Why won't sharks eat attorneys?" Answer: "Professional courtesy."
