Ep. 65 – Hiring the Wrong Lawyer After a Truck Crash: What’s at Stake || After the Crash Podcast

🚨 Do you know how easy it is to hire the wrong lawyer after a semi-truck accident? Most people don’t—and the consequences can be devastating.

In this episode of After the Crash, Board-Certified Truck Accident Attorney David Craig sits down with Harlan Schillinger, widely known as the “Grandfather of Legal Marketing,” to discuss the double-edged sword of legal advertising. Together, they unpack how modern marketing has made it easier than ever to choose the wrong attorney, especially after a catastrophic truck crash.

With nearly 40 years of experience, David shares what families really need to know after a serious wreck:
✔️ How legal ads can mislead you
✔️ Why lead generation companies are confusing victims
✔️ What board certification really means — and why it matters
✔️ How to research the right legal team (not just the loudest one)
✔️ The red flags that could cost you justice

📌 Key takeaway: In today’s overcrowded legal market, flashy ads don’t equal real results. If you or someone you love has been in a semi-truck crash, you need answers, not promises.
