Washington, D.C. — Protecting American Consumers Together (PACT), a national organization dedicated to standing up for plaintiffs, victims, and consumers to ensure that they can access a fair and transparent legal system, today releases Episode Four of “Consumer Talk” — a recurring video series explaining America’s civil justice system.

The fourth episode in “Consumer Talk” is titled — “Highway Billboard Tax”, which reveals the true cost of attorney billboard advertising—showing how aggressive legal marketing turns into a hidden tax paid by consumers. As part of this new video release, PACT is shining the spotlight on one of America’s most notorious billboard routes, the New Jersey Turnpike, with a Garden State-specific edition of the video.

“Highway Billboard Tax” is available to watch here. The New Jersey-specific “Turnpike Billboard Tax” is available to watch here. 

“America’s highways are littered with billboard attorney advertisements that are funded by consumers everywhere,” said PACT Executive Director Lauren Zelt. “Further, those same attorneys prey upon their clients and often leave them in more debt and pain than they were in before an accident occured. Consumers should not be distracted by the smiling attorneys on our nation’s highways – they should take heed instead.”

Earlier episodes of PACT’s Consumer Talk series can be found on our YouTube channel, available to watch here. 

PACT’s “Consumer Talk” series builds upon the organization’s Explainer Video, a 5-minute summary of the shocking truth behind billboard attorneys. The Explainer Video has been viewed over 5.6 million times digitally and is available to watch here.
