Badvertising Hall of Shame / ADA

Posted on June 30, 2008
Filed Under Uncategorized |

From the website of Andy Nolen, who practices in the Harris County Criminal Justice Center:

RATED BY GOOGLE AND YAHOO AS ONE OF HOUSTON’S:

BEST CRIMINAL ATTORNEYS

BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYERS

BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS

BEST CRIMINAL LAW FIRMS

BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE TRIAL LAWYERS

I suppose he would say that his name pops up in a search for “best criminal attorneys Houston” and so forth. Because, of course, Google and Yahoo don’t rate lawyers.

For this blatantly deceptive bit of advertising garbage, Andy has earned today’s Asshat of the Day Award (ADA).

    Seems kind of harsh. I mean, what if he is one of the Top 10 Criminal Defense Attorneys in Houston?

    Seriously, he’s an asshat just for the Google nonsense? Is there more to the story? Is he, perhaps, this guy’s lawyer?

    Never heard of him.

    Windy, my ADA readers can jump in here, but I’m pretty sure he’s not in the top 250.

    And I can’t identify this guy because of privilege issues.

    There are certain defense attorneys that prosecutors are courteous to out of respect. And there are certain defense attorneys that prosecutors are courteous to because they are harmless and there is no need to get combative with.

    I will let you guess which category Mr. Nolen falls under.

    He’s put the Harris County seal on his page??

    Bad move. Indicative of bad judgment and lends credence - inferentially at least - to the asshatt moniker.

    Who is this Andy Nolen guy? I’ve got shoe leather that has more trial experience than he has — and I am not a lawyer.
