    This was something I didn’t expect to find weird when I visited the US - you guys have giant billboards for lawyers everywhere

    (The one that stuck out was always “the attorney that rocks!” with a picture of a dreadlocks metalhead lawyer, loved that one)

    And it’s always really person-focussed, not the business - elsewhere you might get an advert saying “Call XYZ Associates”, there it’s “CALL TODD at XYZ”

      A lot of Americans are in such dismal financial straights that they can only dream of striking it rich via winning the lottery, or a big, juicy lawsuit.

        A big, juicy lawsuit is the reason I own my house outright and don’t have rent/mortgage payments. Which in turn means I can get by on the very little money I make on my hobbies.

        So … yeah. Lawsuit for the win?
