Most of the TV advertising lawyers use a telephone screening process to evaluate your claim and decide whether they are even interested. Most of these law firms are cherry pickers and are looking for the easiest cases that they can settle quickly, and with little effort. If you decide to hire them, you will likely never meet with a lawyer and all of your dealings will be through a paralegal, which is just a specially trained secretary. If the law firm cannot settle the case, they will either farm the case out to another lawyer that does know how to try a case, or they will give you back your file. Is this the kind of lawyer you want to hire?
