Send Overlawyered a letter, go on TV

Viewers of Catherine Crier’s show on Court TV yesterday (see yesterday’s entry) should follow these links to find out more about the stories we discussed: lawsuit over unsolicited faxes results in unsolicited faxes to clients; the perils of road courtesy; lawyers paying per click for searches on words like “mesothelioma”; Florida divorce lawyers send “Dear Prospective Client” letters to persons who don’t know yet that they’re being divorced (& see Apr. 14); and court refuses to enforce scuba diving waiver. The highlight came when Crier interviewed by telephone Overlawyered reader Rick Provost of Richmond, Va., who wrote a letter to the editor alerting us to the story after receiving an unsolicited fax advising him of his rights in the class action lawsuit.
