Since the Commercial Appeal misses the obvious headline, I’m helping out, based on this sentence in a story today: “”To say that I’ve never tried a case is false, and that’s what I object to,” said Trotz. He provided the name of a woman, Maureen Davis, who confirmed that Trotz tried and won her personal injury case in court in 2000.” He was prompted to come forward when another Memphis lawyer rejected membership in the ATLA “The Top 100 Trial Lawyers in Tennessee” when he saw Trotz was on the list:
“I have never seen him try a case,” [Tim] Holton, a partner in the Deal, Cooper and Holton law firm, said Monday. “His own commercials indicated that he will keep you out of court, and as I said in my letter, that’s where trials take place.
Trotz said Monday he tried plenty of cases earlier in his career, but his focus turned more toward management as his firm, Nahon, Saharovich and Trotz, grew.
The single worst event in the history of American jurisprudence will forever be the Supreme Court’s decision allowing attorneys to advertise … like they’re just another roll of toilet paper or odorarm deunderant.
‘Tis twoo, Ben–Thanks, Warren Burger–
Sort of like the billboard I saw today for the “Botox Docs.”
[...] Attorney Corey Trotz of Nahon, Saharovich and Trotz, known for his West Tennessee TV advertising, thinks he’s being criticized unfairly. [Hank Dudding, "Lawyers feud over trial experience", Memphis Commercial Appeal, Apr. 21; Tom Freeland]. [...]
few of these billboard lawyers actually try cases. what a shock!
the truth is few lawyers period are in court day in and day out, excepting of course, prosecutors and public defenders.
once I was having a conversation with an AUSA and asked if he was busy. Hell Yes, he said, have tried two cases this year!!! the conversation took place in the fall…
But it’s fun to gig them about their never being in court, itsn’t it BoynamedSioux?
If I was John Romano of ATLA, I would respectfully request that these idiots stop writing me letters, and then remove all of them from the Top 100 list, which is fundamentally a silly list anyway which no lawyer should pay any attention to.
What a sellout,the state of Tennessee really needs to take a long look at these so called lawyers.They are more like scam artist!Who ever is over the BAR Ass.in Tenn. should dis-bar them and put them all in jail.The victims of automobile wrecks have already been injured,they do not need to be screwed by there lawyers,too!
