Paul Bucher shops his letter of the law is in today's
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel discussing Attorney Bucher's "ambulance chasing" letters to those running for public office that essentially hold him out as an expert in Wisconsin election law, which I wouldn't doubt. I've commented before on how many
Wisconsin personal injury lawyers send letters to car accident victims and on how a ban on such
personal injury lawyers accident letters is proposed in New Jersey.
This attorney advertising seems more tasteful than those soliciting the injured but I wonder what's next. Bucher's firm, like many other law firms,
Gatzke & Ruppelt, practices in many areas of the law. What's next probate lawyers reading obituaries and sending solicitations to families of the deceased? I wonder too if WTMJ 620's blogger turned radio talk show host, Bucher's wife,
Jessica McBride, will say anything about the article written by her fellow Journal Communication's co-employee. She recently wrote an article touting her husband's work as Waukesha County's main criminal prosecutor,
Bucher never shied away from doing what he thought was right.

Ran into a Milwaukee criminal lawyer today. His firm handles drunk driving, misdemeanors and felonies in Milwaukee. The lawyer told me his law firm may "start advertising for
Milwaukee personal injury cases." Thus, the lawyers there may dabble in
Milwaukee personal injury cases even though
they have never handled or tried a personal injury case in Milwaukee, in Wisconsin or elsewhere.
My strong recommendation is that you be cautious about relying on advertising as a way to find your personal injury lawyer. I strongly advise you to make sure your personal injury attorney is active in the
Association of Trial Lawyers of America and the
Wisconsin Academy of Trial Lawyers. I recommend that your lawyer is recongnized by
Martindale-Hubbell as an AV® rated attorney and that your attorney speak on issues specifically addressing personal injury law. If you find a lawyer meeting these qualifications, then you are well on your way to finding a qualified Wisconsin personal injury lawyer.

Another lawyer tells me that a salesperson from
Findlaw just used my firm in trying to sell its expensive product. Let me just say that
Findlaw would have to pay me. This is what I tell all the outfits calling me, I get about 5 calls/week, trying sell me web services - such as the
lawyer matching services.
Findlaw is just big yellow pages and for lawyers. So if that's what you want lawyers, go ahead and buy lots and lots of internet yellow pages ads. Try these too:
www.lawyers.com,
www.ilawyerdirectory.com,
www.lectlaw.com,
www.attorneyfind.com,
www.attorneyinternetservices.net,
www.alllaw.com, the list is practically infinite.
But when I search Findlaw, for example, under "car accident" and "chicago, il" I don't get the lawyers I know should. I'm very familiar with Chicago personal injury lawyers and the best Chicago lawyers, which in my opinion, include
Burke, Mahoney & Wise,
Clifford Law Offices, and
Corboy & Demetrio, don't appear anywhere near the top of the search in Findlaw.
Findlaw apparently doesn't care whether internet users are savvy enough to see through its pitch so long as it can keeps finding buyers of its product, lots of lawyers.

discussed here before and today the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has a nice story discussing the

Bob Dolan is a former client who has since become a personal friend. In Milwaukee, many know him as former host of Weber & Dolan on WISN AM 1130, former sportscaster at WTMJ TV Channel 6, and brother of Milwaukee Archbishop Timothy Dolan.
Bob and his wife Beth have produced a travel show for t.v. called "A Husband and Wife Vacation: For Better, For Worse!" that will debut on WISN TV Channel 12 at 11 a.m. tomorrow, Saturday, August 5, 2006.
I am proud to be a sponsor of the show and my client testimonial ad (which Bob produced) will air on t.v. for the first time during the show. I encourage those of you in the Milwaukee area to watch.

Client testimonial ads are now airing on t.v. The wonderful former clients who speak gave their testimonials freely without any compensation. With so many
Wisconsin personal injury lawyers to choose from I hope to distinguish my Wisconsin personal injury law firm from the many out there in a way that I did with my
recommendation from Bob Dolan.
