   so are they advertising what he can help you with, or what he has been charged with?

   I love the “This is an advertisement” bit, just in case you have the IQ of a shoebox.

   I’m thinking this is too hilar to be true, then I do a search on the Martindale-Hubble Directory (of attorneys) and ka-ching, a hit!

   Same name and area code as on the biz card, and judging by the notation on the listing, “Visibility Rankings #9 out of 2,107 lawyers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana #2,640 out of 888,801 total lawyers Overall”, Gigglesugar and Neatorama have been ver, very good to Mr. John!

   I like the list of what he can help you with: Major drug charges, serious felonies, post conviction relief (i.e., appeals), etc.

   Woogie, I don’t know about Louisiana (where this guy apparently practices) specifically, but most state licensing boards require “this is an advertisement” to be prominently displayed in any ad for legal services.

   I checked the Louisiana State Bar, there is a Mr. Peter John, licensed to practice law with the O’Neal law firm. They defend “serious” murder and drug charges. Being a lawyer, I fear for the future of my profession.

   Keeter, what is the difference between a serious and not-serious murder charge? And does it involve clowns?

    What’s the difference between a dead skunk and a dead attorney on the highway? There are skid marks in front of the skunk.

    As a law student, this is the type of lawyer that I aspire to be.

    “choke a bitch”?

    Guess I missed the “neat” part…

    Despite how ridiculous this is, how many other lawyers are specifically working for/targeting young urban potential clients? Taking a hilarious story and making it serious but there’s a ridiculous amount of blacks in jail for things they shouldn’t be in jail for..if the stuffy lawyers want to work to prevent this I’d advise them to join Peter on his hood.

    I don’t see anything wrong with this. I’ve seen ads for biker lawyers. He’s just appealing to people who maybe don’t want a stuffy white guy representing them.

    You know, I initially thought, “Well, who are we to say what’s the correct way for a lawyer to dress and advertise”? but come on. It’s ridiculous. Enough with te PC BS already. We laugh at things that are outside the norm and lawyers like that are not the norm. If you can laugh at fat dudes with mullets and spandex-clad grandmas you can laugh at pimped out lawyers, too. That being said, I like how he doesn’t ASK you if you need a good lawyer. He COMMANDS you to need a good lawyer.

    It’s funny to see people outraged or suprised by this. There is nothing new to this at all.

    I cant help but hear “Get Busy” by Sean Paul as the theme for the guy’s tv advert.

    Unfortunately this guy has a market. The kind of people he is likely to represent are the kind of people who would look at that ad and think it’s great.

    I’m guessing he has a large list of clients. I mean it’s the ‘Q’ firm quality!

    Surely what matters is whether he’s any good as a lawyer?

    How much you want to bet he plays the race card every single case he has?

    I’m always amazed at the stupid racist comments that follow posts of anything related to African American culture (look back at the comments on the “ghetto wedding” for another example). Not every black male is a convicted felon, and you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. He may look a complete mess (no doubt about that), but that doesn’t mean he can’t be educated enough to serve you or anyone else better than the next guy. And btw, when you say “mon” trying to sound Jamaican, you sound like an idiot.

    It does not matter what a person looks like, what matters is if he can do the job. Peter John has done so much for my family. He shined when other lawers were afraid. Thank You Peter John Thank You
