The salesman for the Yellow Pages never sent me the final copy to sign off on, so they can't pin that on me.

It's a very bad violation of legal ethics to use an actor in a lawyer's ad without clearly indicating that it's an actor, so as soon as I saw the damn thing I went through the roof due to fear of tangling with the Legal Ethics section of the Bar Association, and have had a clear paper trail to that effect.

Funny thing is that my own photo, although older and less attractive than the model, has done better for me. I don't think people are looking for lawyers based on looks.

I used to work with a male lawyer who said that every grey hair on his head was worth money.

Hey, show me your picture! And how are you on business law, insurance bankrupcy defaults, and 3rd party contingent liability? Oh, did I tell you I need lawyer? Something about hot coffee spilt in a lap when someone fell asleep driving to work ...
