misleading advertisements

Well, they’re at it again. The high volume advertisers are using a minuscule disclaimer ( fine print) to avoid misleading the public. Have you recently seen an advertisement on television where the lawyers are on the courthouse steps and reporters are clamoring for the lawyers’ attention? It could be misleading; according to the Florida Bar’s standing committee for advertising. The committee ruled this type of advertising is false, misleading and deceptive. However, the committee ruled a disclaimer (fine print) indicating it was a dramatization, not an actual event would bring the ad into compliance. Perhaps the dramatization was the lawyers actually appearing in a courtroom?

We’d like your opinion as to television advertisement.  Do you think as we do?  That many of these high-volume advertisers need directions to the courthouse to film their commercials?  Do you think insurance companies respect high volume advertisers, as they work on volume and accept low-ball settlements to feed their enormous advertising budget? What’s your opinion? Is it different than ours?
Please let us know.

P.S.  Don’t blink or you’ll miss the disclaimer

    Thank you for your blog posting. I hired one of those high volume lawyers; what a mistake. At my mediation they forced me to take an insulting amount of money! I thought they were on my side. How do they get away with it. I could tell they were scared to go to court. What a joke they were!
