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.

IIRC, four inches max for lettering height on signs for your dental office back then. . .

Thank you for your snarky "suggestion". There is a difference between silently helping the US Military (or anyone else) and exploiting them on TV commercials. And I would "suggest" you keep your "suggestions" to yourself.

The military pandering commercial is just icing on the low class lawyer cake.

But when I read articles and see the ridiculous auto insurance rates here in FL, the first thing I think of is how much this guy and his fellow lawyers are contributing to the mess with their “work”.

As a retired Army colonel, I initially was taken aback that service members would allow themselves to potentially run afoul of the law (UCMJ) by appearing in uniform in an advertisement. That is strictly forbidden. Upon further viewings, I see that the 'ad' gets around that by being a thinly disguised 'salute to our men and women in uniform'. Hopefully, those service members got JAG approval to participate. Honoring or exploiting our service members? I have my opinion but I'll keep that to myself.

He is one of the reasons your car insurance is so expensive.

In my opinion he is a scammer and one of the reasons our insurance premiums are terrible!

Personally, I'm sick of the ALL lawyer commercials....especially Newlin's. Another one is Morgan and Morgan. I've had a slip/fall years ago, up north and didn't dream of suing. No wonder insurance rates keep rising. Even on one of the commercials they admit they go after the insurance companies.

Totally agree. We think his misuse of our military is an insult. It is low class. Would never use him should the need arise. The frequency of the ads is nauseating particularly around a holiday such as the Fourth of July & Veterans Day.

Law suits and the insurance industry in general are out of control, especially Florida.

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

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

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.
