Not the point. One can be a big supporter of the military without blasting the airwaves with commercials using them to promote a business.

In fairness...most of us do not know the man. I think your comment is a little off base. Just a cursory check of his bio, prior to becoming an attorney..he had a pretty significant LEO background that is pretty impressive and received a few commendations in the process. His daughter is in the AF as well. This thread topic isn’t about who is/isn’t brave, who served or didn’t, who cares more for veterans. It’s about legal advertising....and in this case, the liberties and latitude one firm takes to that end

Very poor taste.

I am just surprised so many blame the lawyers and no one is blaming the insurance companies. If the insurance co did the right thing, lawyers would not be needed.

If unscrupulous "roofing companies" didn't exist to scam the insurance companies, and if immoral homeowners didn't buy into the scam lock stock and barrel so they could get a brand new free roof, the insurance companies wouldn't have had to up their rates or go out of business, and lawyers wouldn't have been needed.

I think the insurance companies should sue the homeowners, personally.

I agree. If Mr. Newlin truly cared about our service members he could simply support them with trying to leverage his association to promote his private practice. At Christmas when the various charitable organizations put out their buckets and kettles do you drop a dollar in then shout out "Hey, look what I did? Here's my business card."

Great point
My guess....yes, and you’d probably see more of that if these same posters knew how to use IG and TikTok to upload the receipts! :1rotfl:

Or he could just focus on another line of legal practice that doesn’t result in service members insurance premiums skyrocketing.

Great idea, except just like taking down a drug lord, there will be 10 other bottom feeders waiting in line to take his place.

What is his "big support"???

I never once looked at it like that. Isn't it funny? I think I remember that Dan was a police officer and then went on to get a degree in law. Out of all in that genre, I like his commercials the most...if you can like commercials at all. Of course I think everyone loves Publix Commercials. But then I like to grocery shop and cook too. If we were all alike, don'tchaknow....and I am very grateful for those who were born with the intelligence level and the work ethic to become physicians. I thank YOU sir.

I agree - those that pushed the roofing scam and those homeowners that went along are complicit in all of this. There is no such thing as a “free lunch”!

Wait...youre telling me there are Villagers that don't do everything on the straight and narrow?!

They mustve lied on TV litmus test as well. Who knew! ;)

Both are legal! Ambulance chasers are the scum of the earth, below car salesmen.
Not too long ago, lawyers could not advertise on tv. Now people that can’t think will see people getting $1,000,000 for some accident and think they can get the same. No wonder our insurance rates are so high. I do agree that if somebody hits me, like some of the challenged people here that can’t navigate a roundabout, they need to pay all damages, loss of salary if any, medical expenses if any, but that’s about it. If aomebody does something stupid while driving, I will call a lawyer and make them pay for every cent of damage they caused. If it’s an accident, then I would try to make it amicable between both parties. We almost got hit 2x yesterday by clowns that can’t drive thru roundabouts, and this happens all the time

He does a lot for the community and military. Take a break!
