Interesting post by Ann Althouse on how commenting on blog posts that mention accidents. Can any readers confirm if lawyers use that technique to get clients?
UPDATE: Eric Turkewitz, of New York Personal Injury Law Blog, has these thoughts on "attorney solicitation 2.0.

I have had a recent rash of this on my Blog, NWI Lawyer. Anytime I write an article that is even vaguely related to medical malpractice or medical negligence, I get a slew of trackback comments to other attorneys' personal or firm web pages. I have one British Solicitor who is astute at doing so. Interesting concept. I wonder if these attorneys are using services or hiring other people to find these articles and post comments...?

It makes me want to do a test post here, to see what flies the honey catches. Do you think I should?

Take a look at @SanDiegoInjury on Twitter. The attorney links to a blog he writes where he details accidents. Not sure if that's what you're looking for but, personally, I think it's shameful.
