Adventures in Lawyer Advertising: State Bar Association of Hubba-Hubba

Texas State Bar seal.jpgAn ATL reader sent along a link to an attorney profile at the Texas State Bar website, with the following request:

Please find out if this is for real.

The photo on the State Bar of Texas website that prompted the reader’s plea to us, plus the backstory behind the picture — after the jump.

Here is the attorney profile in question:

Jane Allen Clark Jane A Clark Texas State Bar.jpg

The Kate Walsh (Grey’s Anatomy & Private Practice star) lookalike is a University of Idaho Law 1990 grad and a solo practitioner in Texas. What’s the story behind the photo?

We called Jane Allen Clark to ask about the photo, and how she chose it. “I just liked it,” she told us. “We all want to look like L.A. Law, I guess.”

After getting our call, she speculated that “maybe [she] shouldn’t have used that particular photo.”

Jane Clark’s area of specialty is not as racy as her state bar association photo. She mainly deals with worker’s compensation issues.

Her profile says that language translation services are available. I'm guessing that means French and Greek.

Suggestion: Create two ATL sites. One for the big boys and another - Junior ATL - for small firms in small cities. Hate to sound like a snob, but I don't come to this site for stories about some solo practitioner I've never heard of. The new site could be called Below the Law or Below Above the Law.

So one of the languages she speaks is Arabic. Hmmm, I wonder if photos like that are popular with Arab clients?

She is hideous and could benefit from any number of elective medical surgeries.

No. 5: you are such a loser. You are miserable, lonely, insecure, untalented, not profitable, not respected and not busy. You have no clients, no prospect of business, and no future. Peter principle has kicked in. You berate your secretary. Get that resume out to the government.

Does the pic look a little like it's from a comic book? Or a CGI film? Maybe I overestimate the abilities of CGI.

She is very hard on the eyes. and I dobt that she makes any one hard. And did she raid Cher's storage bin to find that dress? No wonder lawyers are viewed with contempt. She looks like an old whore from the Bunny Ranch.
