Trial Lawyers Ads Create Image Problem
More on the LA Times about how the spokesman for the American Tort Reform Association says that lawyers create their own problems:
In fact, Schwartz said, over-the-top self-promotion by some trial lawyers have made the best case for the need for change. "Their ads making things seem as if it's just free money" have done "more to convince the American public that we have jackpot justice than anything put out by any tort reform organization — including the 'looney lawsuits' stories," he said.
Recent research shows that 40% of people get their info on lawyers exclusively from the media (TV, newspaper) - they have 40% unfavorable , 28% favorable impression. Twenty percent say that lawyer advertising are their main source of information about lawyers. This group has an 84% negative, and 10% positive impression of lawyers and the legal system.
Oof. We have met the enemy and he is us.
