Would you hire this guy as your Personal Injury Lawyer?

Georgia Lawyer's Local Super Bowl Ad Is Batshit Amazing



During the first local commercial break of last night's Super Bowl broadcast, residents of Savannah, Ga., were treated to something truly incredible. Personal injury lawyer Jamie Casino bought the entire two-minute block of local advertising and aired the masterpiece you see above.

I would never hire an attorney for anything based on their ad. I wouldn't use a doctor or any professional that I could easily check out they're level of success, competence, knowledge and experience based on nothing more than a "cool" and grossly expensive ad. Had I the money and wanted a really cool looking ad I might consider hiring the company that made this one though.

you know the ones who have sold their souls and first born to Satan.

Nobody really likes lawyers except if you need one and when you do need one you want a good one who will win for you.

I have no idea who this guy is but dropping 7 figures for a TV commercial during the Superbowl either the guy is independently wealthy or nuts.

A lot of people saw the ad when it aired.

If this thread is any indication, it's likely that a lot more people saw the ad or read about it in comments that it generated (free media).

I wouldn't assume he was independently wealthy or nuts. It's a certainty that he'll get some cases out of it, and it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to pay for itself.

As a side benefit, some people who see the ad may end up on juries in cases he's trying, and be more inclined to find in favor of his client because they have the image of him as someone who fights against evil.

The theoretical justice that people think is the US Judicial System does not exist anymore.

Ask Don Siegelman how the Justice System is working out for him.

making out that he's a personal injury lawyer who is good. It is interesting, but I end up thinking PI law is too dull for him.

Nothing against heavy metal or professional wrestling or 80's actin heroes, but if I was pursuing a personal injury case, I'm not sure I'd want someone who came in with a flamethrower and kick-ass leather jacket.
