The Powers Phillips web site made the blogger rounds a few years ago, but I must have been working on something important that week, because I didn't learn about it until I saw a recent link at Hold U in Contempt.
When it comes to web marketing, this is a firm that's willing to take big risks. Go there and see for yourself. If you demand an example, here's what the home page says about the firm's litigation lawyers:
Litigation lawyers are the type who will lie, cheat and steal to win a case and who can't complete a sentence without the words "I object" or "I demand another extension on that filing deadline." Many people believe that litigation lawyers are the reason all lawyers are held in such low esteem by the public. Powers Phillips, P.C. is pleased to report that only three of its lawyers, Trish Bangert, Tom McMahon, and Tamara Vincelette are litigation lawyers, and only one of them is a man.
I saw this post while poking around in the Legal Underground archives, which reminded me that I forgot to write this comment back in, oh, FEBRUARY. Yes, they're real. They've now got a page on their site devoted to web mentions of them (though they mention Overlawyered's blurb, neither you nor Hold U in Contempt are mentioned). Seems like they'd be a fun group to work for.
