Full story in Bloomberg Law

Attorneys driving upstate will now be greeted with something of an unpleasant welcome in Albany: billboards saying lawyers get rich while their clients don’t.

One billboard shows a guy in a suit on a stack of cash with the message “Trial Lawyers Get Rich, New Yorkers Pay.” The other displays a yacht labeled “What the lawyer got out of the settlement” alongside a tiny rowboat labeled “What the client got.” (Pictures here.)

The billboards, along I-787, were put up by Protecting American Consumers Together, an advocacy group that says it’s seeking to “expose predatory legal practices.” The group’s donors include Uber.
