This is absolutely it.
I was commenting to my partner recently about the number of billboards for lawyers there are between Atlanta and one of the suburbs to the north of us. One of them says “Stop paying your lawyers 35%-45%, contact My 25% Lawyer!”, and I was like, who uses lawyers often enough to know to complain about their commission percentage?!?
I don’t know if it’s the same in other countries but the fear of lawsuit and also the encouragement to sue for every little thing is so strong here, I find it disgusting and a waste of legal resources.
There is something wrong with a system where advertising that you can “make money” from suing your employer or neighbor is actually effective.
