Since Florida is a "no fault" state, how does Dan get these outrageous awards for his clients from auto crashes? Asking for a friend.

Obviously you have never been to mission barbecue.. They are the most veterans favored place and also first responders establishment you will ever go to. Have many events during the year honoring vets and first responders. Give it a try.

I'm a viet nam veteran and support any
business that outwardly supports our country and our military.

They also donate a lot of money to local Veterans organizations. There are plenty of sleazy groups that try to exploit Veterans, but I agree with you that Mission BBQ isn’t one of them.

Don't worry the B.A.R. (BRITISH ACEDITED REGISTRY London control) will be dissolves soon. No more maritine law. Return to common law (1776).The state of Oregon removed the requirement of graduated law students to take the bar exam (Nov 23).Who will be next.

“Winning” all come from us ratepayers causing higher insurance costs.
 
All of his billions come from us.

Inappropriate
 
He’s made a business decision to attract and exploit a certain group of clients and thinks he owns the flag and patriotism. His decision also repels another group. He will never get our business.

Been doing it for years, what’s the big deal? At least he the only “ambulance chaser” that shows he supports the military.

It might be marketing, but it's nice to go someplace at feel apreciated. The playing of the National Anthem at noon is a great idea. If anything , the prices might doom Mission.

Everyone should realize that winning unworthy victims HUGE sums of money must be covered by others. Anything given to one must be paid for by others (via increased insurance premiums.)

Yes, it's now an option. HOWEVER for those who want to call themselves lawyers in Oregon, and not take the bar exam, they must work several hundred hours in an apprenticeship instead, and be graded on their work.

After law school, candidates will spend 675 hours working under the supervision of an experienced attorney and create a portfolio of legal work that bar officials will grade as an alternative to the traditional bar exam.

Veterans are not gods. I don't revere them. I don't worship them. I don't walk up to every veteran showing off his veteran cap to thank them for their service. My uncle was a veteran and I didn't thank HIM for HIS service every time I visited him, or give him a gift every time I visited him to show him my appreciation.

I certainly am not going to do that for a bunch of people I've never met, just because they're showing off their veteran status. To me, unless you're marching in a parade or attending another official military-specific event, wearing a veteran cap is nothing more than posturing and demanding to be treated differently.

I honor honorable people. A piece of crap that shoots down the enemy in a fighter jet, is still a piece of crap. A person who gives of himself, helps others, lives a peaceful life, and contributes to society, is worthy of honor even if he never served a day in the military.

My uncle served - and he was a wonderful man. But he wasn't wonderful because he served. He was wonderful because he was wonderful.

You want to compare a central FL personal injury lawyer ....to the signers of the Declaration of Independence?!

Ahh....Mr. Newlin, we have another one on line 2!

AMBULANCE CHASERS = INCREASE INSURANCE RATES FOR ALL....

Shady roofers = increase homeowner insurance rates. And it continues....

We can all thank the likes of Dan Newlin and Morgan and Morgan when we get the renewal bill for our auto insurance.

Anyone willing to put their life on the line for my freedom deserves my respect. In my opinion there are many people that enjoy those freedoms that don't necessarily deserve it.

Risuli 07-07-2024 09:27 AM

I believe I'm in agreement with the original poster about the Dan Newlin ads that feature what appear to be active military. Government entities and the military should not appear to be endorsing any one firm or business over another. These ads seem to show active military, possibly on military sites (or with active military equipment in the case of the Blue Angels) giving the impression of endorsing Mr. Newlin's business. Certainly the military members do not directly discuss his business, but thank him for his contributions, but nonetheless give the impression of endorsing HIM and if you've seen his ads he puts himself forward as his business. Its a fine line, but it would seem to be a little over the edge.

As to the Flag, not much. As to the people, I hope he pays them actors union scale

Practiced under the Morgan and Morgan umbrella up until 2012...before moving to private practice. Just goes to show, even attorneys don’t like to pay the ‘juice’. Welcome to our world!

Thanking someone for what they have done is, imho, not the same thing as respecting said someone for what the have done. I appreciate every person that served our country, but I have met many who, for many reasons, are not worthy of respect. In my vocabulary, appreciation and respect are two different things.

I thought the same thing. Pathetic way to convince people to use his business. Self-promoting bragging is a turn-off also.

As a proud US Navy retiree I very much appreciate Mission BBQ. As a Vietnam vet I find your opinion ridiculously misguided.

Dont blame them…blame the laws that will not be changed to stop personal injury law suits.

Lets face it…Dan Newlin and other injury lawyers make their money on the blue collar lottery here. Some uninsured meth heads get into an accident…they will call these lawyers to get some money.

And those here that degrade the legal profession are on angry because their ex spouse had a better attorney

The ads definitely violate the Joint Ethics Regulation (JER) and apparently none of these servicemembers thought to get a legal review of their actions. The only reason I can think of why these ads haven’t been shut down is that they are running locally and no military lawyers have seen them. The Blue Angels one is particularly mind-boggling to me because it was clearly shot on base with the aircraft in the background!
