Sorry. I was googling consumer defense attorney, not consumer protection, because that was what newvillages asked for in the original post.

Thanks for the explanation.

I know, I know ... I'm probably the only one who finds it annoying and I don't know why!
It looks like advertising, I guess.
Just sayin'...

Sorry it annoys you but you read it, right?

That's the idea!

Personally, I think it makes a lot of difference, especially if you are giving a recommendation to someone.
A recommendation is based on a genuine personal situation or referral --
your own or one you personally know about, not a TV commercial.

Otherwise, it's tantamount to opening the yellow pages, closing your eyes and pointing, no?

I take it back - it's NOT the bolded, centered text that annoys me.

I was looking for someone who defends you against a collection agency.

My guess is that you need an attorney who specializes in litigation.

The text is centered as if it were a title or poetry, calling attention and slowing the reader's eye. And bold to add significance, as if it were an advertisement.

If it is annoying, perhaps it is because the layout and font tricks the reader into an expectation that is unfulfilled and not in keeping with normal textual conversation.
