Should I Hire An Attorney Based On A TV Ad?

This type of advertising seems to be most prevalent in the personal injury field of law.  Some say that this is because consumers have no understanding of the value of their cases and if they engage a law firm that, in essence, is a “factory” that settles these cases for whatever is easily obtained by legal staff (i.e. sometimes not trained lawyers but instead by paralegals or other non-lawyers) then the business can be profitable based on the volume of business they handle.  For example, if a seasoned veteran thinks a case is worth $100,000.00 it may not be that hard for an inexperienced law firm that is looking only for a quick end to the case to accept $25,000.00 for the case.  By having a volume of cases, their business is profitable by settling case after case for whatever can be easily obtained.
