The 15 Quirkiest, Funniest and Most Aggro Local Lawyers’ Commercials

15 Moseley Collins

Other than the choices he’s made about his hair (or, possibly, “hair”), Sacramento injury lawyer Moseley Collins is pretty unremarkable in an ad for his legal services.

I guess I just wasn’t prepared for him to use his legal commercials as a Trojan horse for a message about his Christian faith.

Collins can do whatever he wants on his own time; when I’m paying for his time, I expect him to attack my foes with an energy that is in no way Christlike.

14 Alexander & Catalano

What does preternatural control over packs of wild dogs have to do with an attorney’s ability to represent me?

I don’t know, but if upstate New York’s Alexander & Catalano hadn’t split up in 2019, they’d have my business. 

13 Mike Walker

Trying to draft in Top Gun’s success might seem smart given what a huge hit Maverick was a couple of years ago. Then you notice that this ad for Nashville lawyers Mike Walker and his associate Johnny (heh) is 11 years old, and those rented costumes start looking a lot shabbier.

12 Barry Glazer

“Did this VO just say Barry Glazer represents ‘the urinated-upon’?!” Yes, believe it or not, he’s made it a motif and that’s one of the LEAST confusing choices Baltimore’s Glazer is willing to sign his name to.

11 Spencer & Associates

To me, it seems needlessly inflammatory to score an ad for a law firm with a track that includes “bitch” in its lyrics, but the exercise of writing this post has taught me that what I don’t know about advertising legal services could fill a warehouse.

10 Weinstein Law / Corey Gomel

I’m sorry, I’m going to need to know which one of these Texas lawyers the knockoff Transformer actually gives his personal endorsement.

9 Jim Adler

Texas lawyer Jim Adler styles himself “The Hammer.” He is now 81 years old, so I hope he’s had a light prop made for ads in which he and his namesake tool stand in the middle of the highway and face down 18-wheelers.

Credit to his team for creating this video-game version that can live on after — God forbid — the organic Adler has left us.

But it turns out you have a choice when it comes to Hammer-branded attorneys! Perhaps you’d like to see something in a Lowell Stanley, out of Virginia?

Or the Isaacs & Isaacs firm, serving clients in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio?

8 Browne Law Group

I’m not entirely sure what it means that the Gilbert, Arizona personal attorney is “The Anti-Lawyer Lawyer.”

I do now know for sure that he’s the Anti-Sleeve Lawyer.

7 Lloyd Baker

It’s not for me to say what shortcoming Las Vegas attorney Lloyd Baker may be trying to compensate for with his choice of sport conveyance.

I just don’t know what he’s trying to tell me about his practice by putting it in his ads, PLURAL.

6 J. Michael Gallagher

Washington state’s J. Michael Gallagher knows there are a lot of divorce attorneys vying for your business, but do the rest of them bother to put on little skits to try to book you as a client?

I’m not sure I’d be able to use Gallagher if I found myself in this situation, since anyone who tried to snatch a remote out of my hand while I was watching TV would lose the arm they tried it with.

But it’s the shameless Mastercard riff that really paints a picture… while making the cheating, drunk driving dad the hero of the story? Bold!

5 Greenstein & Milbauer

If my case processes nearly as quickly as the turnaround on this rapping squirrel animation, I’ll be out of the court system in no time! (This firm is based in New York City, so I have to think there was at least one conversation suggesting that the cartoon animal mascot should be a rat. At the very least a pigeon!)

4 Marilyn York

Reno-based divorce lawyer Marilyn York may specialize in men’s rights cases, but that doesn’t mean she thinks it’s okay for partners who are splitting up to disparage one another to their kids!

However, she is happy to do it.

Fellas: if your wife loses weight, it’s so she can cheat on you. Disbelieve Marilyn York at your peril.

3 JustCallMoe

Based on his YouTube presence, Orlando’s Moe DeWitt seems to have pivoted from practicing personal injury law to food vlogging? Which may be just as well, since this Matt Foley spoof went up two years ago, 25 years after the death of Chris Farley.

2 Lerner & Rowe

Back in the day, Las Vegas injury attorney Glen Lerner poked fun at stereotypes about his profession.

Not content to be thought of as kind of witty that time, Lerner and his partner, Kevin Rowe — who operate in several states today — went hard after TV commercial stardom. Before he was a Paris Olympics benefactor, for example, Flavor Flav joined them for a local Super Bowl ad.

More recently, they’ve gotten back on the road, but not to chase ambulances.

It’s nice that they both get to be Marios! I’m going to say their Wario is Barry Glazer.

1 Adam Reposa

When you see an Austin, Texas attorney making a whole ad about why New York City’s soda ban is an attack on American liberties, you might think it has to be a spoof.

Reposa was, in fact, really a lawyer who hired a professional director, Bob Ray, to make his commercial. Their relationship was sufficiently fraught for that director to assemble his version of the work they had made together and share some backstory.

Ultimately, advertising probably should have been further down the list of Reposa’s concerns: By the time he worked with Ray, he’d already been jailed for contempt of court after flipping off a judge.

And not for the last time! More recently, Reposa started an illegal weed dispensary which was promptly raided. Surprisingly, he doesn’t seem to have promoted it with a commercial… yet.
