Lawyer Ads That Go Over The Line


I wish Texas would do what the Florida Supreme Court did in November, and basically say some lawyer ads are just too tasteless. Of course that would be a First Amendment violation, so the Court used different language in banning a Florida firm from using a pit bull in their ads, and using the phone number 1-800-PIT-BULL. Details are on the ABA Journal Web site.

    You are right on the money with this. I thought I was the only one who agreed with the Florida court. Attorneys have to live up to a higher standard. It cannot hurt our image to clean up our advertising.
