It’s a free country and Morgan has recovered millions and made millions. What’s not to celebrate?

A successful white male on a billboard.

Got it.

Just because you can do a thing in Photoshop doesn’t mean that you should.

It’s not done very well, either.

What a gross fucking family. I also hate the law that plaintiff attorneys got repealed that lets them advertise like this. Terrible all around

Fucking a “for the people” as they take 40% of your settlement and throw another 30% to the Dr Nick doctors they convinced you to go to. Yeah, neat grift. Fuckers.

You're talking about it.

Can't ever reward annoying advertising by talking about it. Just ignore it. It's the only way we're going to beat their game.

All of their advertising is a miss, they had another awful photoshopped billboard by bc high and the old globe for a long time of the guy on a Red Sox players body

John Morgan wishes he looked like that, someone should sue for false advertisement.

Morgan & Morgan appreciates you spreading their message beyond the drivers on 93.

I think this is the thing that bothers me most. It's a bad photoshop but not like clearly intentionally bad. The substance of the ad doesn't even call attention to the image. There's no reason for it other than to make this old guy feel like he's attractive. It really creeps me out

Great proofreading: "$15 billion dollars" is "15 billion dollars dollars."

Because people like you take pictures like this and post them on the internet to advertise for them for free.

I keep seeing a commercial on TV for these lawyers where that overweight lawyer is standing next to all these MMA fighters who are training, and he’s talking about how tough of a lawyer he is.

I really wish lawyers weren’t allowed to advertise like this, it feels like they are just praying on people who need cash quick to try suing people and businesses for the smallest reasons. Plus these types of ads/billboards just look like shit.

Why? So people post it on social media and give them attention.

Shock tactics work in viral advertising and it's why you see it so often.

I believe that was their argument, it was once illegal for lawyers to advertise like they do now. The current issue is misleading information as seen in this story: https://instituteforlegalreform.com/blog/the-truth-about-trial-lawyer-ads/

I also just find it incredibly distasteful and if I ever need a lawyer, I’m personally refusing to do business with anyone who has a giant advertising war-chest and appears on billboards. Plastering how much money they claim to get on a billboard is gross and there is always more legal analysis to the story which can’t be explained on a billboard as people drive past going 70MPH. It’s pithy, too simplistic and makes torts appear to be a lottery. It boils our culture down to one thing, the dollar. That it.

Reminds me of the bank ad billboard on Washington St in Somerville. Looked like the guy was looking through a window and enjoying himself.

Yes, that was their argument. In full disclosure, I am an attorney so I have a bias in this. I am not an ambulance chaser like Morgan and Morgan. I think that there is a fine line in advertising where you want people to have access to the justice system and you have to get the word out to do that then you have this crap which is just sad. In all likelihood, M&M never touches the case and just acts as a referral service and gets a fee. This is what Jim Sokolove did back in the day, remember those commercials?

Attorneys can certainly advertise tastefully but these giant mills seem to just try and smother out everyone else. I grew up watching those commercials! When my friend was in law school he told me about their racket, take the case and vend it out to another firm to do the work, take a cut as a finders fee. I have a hunch he rarely took cases unless there was serious meat on the bone.
