TV commercial
 

I'm not going to set up a formal poll, but I'd like to hear what some people think of Dan Newlin using our brave service men, women and the American flag in commercials to promote his ambulance chasing law practice?

Not familiar with Dan, but my opinion of ambulance-chasers is pretty low. My thought is that advertising their service is not too unlike the Mustang Ranch in Nevada advertising theirs.

It’s a really old commercial, at least 5 years old, parts of the same commercial is used to promote the free CW concerts he sponsors for Vets, every year.

I think any business that panders to Veterans or uses Veterans or First Responders as "branding/marketing ploy", deserves to go out of business tomorrow. Places like "Mission BBQ" come to mind.

Perhaps growing up in an era where being a Veteran was like wearing a scarlet "A", colors my opinion.

He caters to a gullible and oblivious clientele. I don't fault him or any of the others that do it across the country. That's good marketing. The majority of the legal community was never synonymous with decorum and decency anyway.
When I was growing up in the northeast, attorneys weren't allowed to even advertise til '77 thanks to SCOTUS...phone book listing and WOM were the only mediums prior to that.

Do not want to need an attorney ever for his type of claims. If I did he would be last person I would call.

Just for the record:
 

“Personal Injury Lawyers” is Episode 37 of The Economics of Everyday Things, an 18 minute listen, from Freakonomics Radio.

So what airport did you fly back to be spit on yelled at, liquid thrown on you, along with my parents, and child. Then NO one would give me any job, with VN on my application. I had to lie, remove military to feed my family. That was my return from serving my country.

Today when I enter places like Disney, SOG, and Mission, I am actually treated like a human, not the scum of the earth I endured for more than 40 years. We no longer Hide because of these businesses. However some still find us not fit to be called a veteran, and will LYK personally.

You think it as pandering, some think of it as being excepted.

As far as First responders, any business that recognizes their service, by thanking them, it’s always greatly appreciated, and earned. After all like my family they couldn’t and would not hide in their house when times aren’t safe.

Wow. Do you not turn on any TV's?

I think Veterans are fair game for personal injury lawyers. They already use minorities, the disabled, young kids, their OWN kids - they're no different from politicians. They want your money/vote and they'll shove in front of the camera any group that will attract their target demographic.

So confused rn. Service 'injuries', I thought were handled through the VA. If we're talking about Camp Lejuene water contaminant cases or other class action suits...dozens of law firms compete for those clients. What is Newlin offering vets that other area firms dont?

This was going to be a long rant that would cross boundries. But then I remembered that if you can't say something nice, then it is best to say nothing at all. 🤐🤐🤐🤐

difference between a lawyer and a catfish,
one is a bottom feeder and the other is a fish

As a 26 year active duty veteran including Viet Nam I have no issue with Dan Newlin posing with vets. It is the veteran's choice to participate. He also does an event honoring vets. I go to Mission BBQ fairly often and I'm impressed by the respect (and perks) they give to vets. I hope they stay in business for a long time.

I would comment but I am afraid he would sue me....lol
