Law - "Metro Detroit attorneys call on billboards to drive up their client lists"

Gotta love this long story from the Detroit Free Press, complete with plenty of billboard photos. Reported by David Ashenfelter, here is a sample:

Zamler advertises on large billboards. The Cochran firm uses small, eye-level billboards along sidewalks in Detroit.

Many lawyer billboards are understated, like those of Royal Oak attorney Todd Flood. His say: "When it matters ... floodlaw.com."

Flood, a former Wayne County assistant prosecutor, said he wanted classy, toned-down billboards so motorists would know that he and his colleagues at Flood, Lanctot, Connor and Stablein run a first-rate general law practice.

Other billboards virtually scream at passersby.

Those of Bloomfield Hills attorney Malgorzata (Margaret) Lorelli say: "Personal Injury? One call: 1-855-2-WIN-ALL."

The boards for a law firm advertised as 1-866-9-LAW-HELP cry out: "AUTO ACCIDENT INJURY? WE SUE BIG!"
