WTF? C U N CRT!

Enough said. Text Ed.

After you've been in an accident, you really don't feel like talking to anybody. Ed Bernstein feels your pain, and he's here to help. Now, you can just text Ed when you get in trouble ... kind of like a bat signal for the lazy and litigious.

When you text Ed's number, 24000, you'll get an instant response, giving you options for your reply:

*SPK to speak to a live rep
*ESP para espanol
*ASK to ask a question
*APP to schedule an appointment
*TIP for accident scene advice
*ASS to tell Ed you feel like an asshat and would rather dial that number from the radio jingle
*MAL to notify Ed of your pending malpractice lawsuit*

We wonder if Ed accepts MMS messages as well. Could we take a picture of our "bulging disc" and get instant feedback on how much our case will settle for?

Ed reportedly spent $50,000 getting this new service up and running because he had to sign separate agreements with all the cell phone carriers to use his extra-special numerical text address. We can't wait for the first firm that allows us to tweet our "injuries" to the world. Isn't the future awesome?!

(LawMarketing.com; Thanks, Tipster!)
*Okay, we may have made those last two up (but we'd love to see your suggestions).

Nothing is wrong with this, move on. Did you mock the first law firm to have an email address as well?

Why are women attorneys so overly sensitive to men showing them even the slightest disrespect by their coworkers? Things that a man would brush off as "Probably not meant to be disrespectful," a women will get offended about. Most men are not chauvinist/ sexist and intend on dealing with women in the workforce in a professional and respectful manner. A problem arises when over sensitivity puts everyone on edge.

Ed Bernstein is the classier alternative to Glen Lerner.

While it is a little tacky, it is less so than a lot of the other methods of advertising out there. At least it's clever and could provide useful information to people who need it. I'd probably be pissed off if I were a plaintiff's lawyer because I hadn't thought of it.

People, the value is in the marketing buzz it creates for Ed. "The medium is the message."

Glen would mop the floor with Ed. Plus, Glen's ex and current wives are hotter than Ed's. Poor Ed, he wanted to be a contender; now he's just a has-been. See ya', "Senator Ed."

Anon 10:16 = Glen Lerner

Wow, Joseph Law just showed his hand-perhaps a defense attorney?

Anonymous said...

Yeah, look, no offense, but unlike his competitors, Bernstein and Kutner, at least Lerner embraced Christianity with a passion.

Lerner's done more to hurt the image of lawyers in Vegas than any other attorney in recent times. Ed Bernstein is a class act, always cordial and guess what?? Ed shows up to court. If Lerner ever started this text thing the only difference is he would require that you make his ape like face and ugly mug your phone default photo. The Heavy Douchbag.

Lerner is definitely a douchebag in every sense of the word. Ed Bernstein also happens to be expertly trained as a ninja specializing in taking down steroid grown neanderthals like G Lerner so my money is on Ninja Ed. But seriously folks comparing Ed to that guy isn't fair at all. Ed's in a completely different upper league.

Ed's been practicing here since - forever - as far as i remember. prob the first guy ever to do PI commercials.

Is Ed a good attorney? From his tv show (still on?) he seemed a little dim-witted. Do defense attorney laugh or cringe when Ed comes knocking?

As I understand it, Ed hasn't tried a case in 15-20 years.

Little-known factoid -- supposedly, Lerner played in the NCAA National Soccer Championship game back in the day.

1:57, did Glen Lerner use a trampoline to reach header opportunities?

Lerner is the reason I continue to support a woman's right to choose! Ed may not have tried a case in 20 years, but he is at least a respectable person and has been at the fore front of PI in Nevada.

Lerner was a "wicked" high school soccer star in Providence and played at Duke.

11:18 AM - what's your basis for that? He dances to his own tune. Big deal. I think you are suffering a mild form of psychological backlash. Kind of like when the girls all project their inner-slut upon the best looking girl class. Deep down, it's a sign of weakness: she's hotter than me, so she must be a horrible slut or somethin'.

Yeah, this video explains 11:18 AM perfectly.

Ed's primary litigator, Patti Wise, is super sharp and has no problems facing down Big Law.

Anonymous said...

How appropriate that da heavy hitter is defending himself with south park videos. Such is his mentality. I agree, Patti at Ed Bernstein's is a sharp lady.

Hahahahaha...very nice. "Enough Said! Call ED!" Glen Lerner=The Devil's Advocate

You Lerner haters have a partial point but I sense a bit of jealousy of his very successful $$$ but cheesy/tacky business model and advertising.

Anonymous said...

I used to agree with the anti-Lerner sentiment but now that I've practiced for a while I think he's brilliant. He has essentially created a license to print money, and he really doesn't even practice law.

True the wake he creates by under-representing clients tends to cast a bad light on all of us, but on the flip side with the (proverbial and literal) bar set so low it should be easy for the rest of us to look good.

Either way he doesn't give a f**K cuz he's "rich byatch!"

70% of a human being's weight is water. 70% of Glen Lerner's weight is his dick.

Princess Diana did not die in a car crash. She, in fact, saw Glen Lerner's penis and exploded in awe.

Glen Lerner has slept with 347 women; yet only 2 have lived to tell about it. Needless to say it was the best sex of their lives.

Anonymous said...

Bernstein has had one jury trial in his career. It was several years ago. It was a sponge-in med mal case. He was defensed. Ouch.

3:46 PM - Hi Patti....didn't realize you read this blog. Sorry but Lewis Brisbois doesn't count as "Big Law."

Are those the best comments Lerner and his employees can come up with? Yeah 70% dick is right. The other 30% is asshole.

30% asshole that's hysterical!

1:50- 2 lived because those were the ones that didn't commit suicide. They didn't do it right away after the Lerner claimed greatest sex because the roofies needed time to wear off. 'Enough Said!'

Glad to see our profession is still as classy as ever.

On a side note, I don't know how capable Lerner or Bernstein are, but I'd be willing to bet that they're both making more than everyone who has posted on this thread*. They're laughing their asses off all the way to the bank.

*Unless Don Campbell posted something....

Lerner sucks ass! BTW Glen how's the herpes?
