They are everywhere; those macho looking lawyers that stare down at you from huge posters and billboards and promise to win your case for you and bring home every single penny that was ever owed to you. With arms folded across their puffed-up chests, and an air of menace around them they tell you that they are ‘serious’ lawyers who only take on ‘serious’ cases and are ‘serious’ about winning.
