Attorney Directory WhoCanISue.com Launches Florida Consumer Media Advertising Campaign
TV, Print and Billboard Ads Target Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Broward Counties as Precursor to National Rollout

BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwire - April 7, 2009) - Whocanisue.com, the new site that lets
consumers learn about their legal rights and connect directly with
attorneys of their choice, today announced a first-phase South Florida
regional rollout of its new national consumer media campaign featuring
television, print and outdoor advertising to promote the whocanisue.com
theme, "Know your rights, find the right attorney."
The whocanisue.com consumer media campaign debuts this week with two
30-second ads running on broadcast TV channels serving the three most
populous counties in the State of Florida, Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm
Beach, with a combined total population exceeding 5.5 million. The TV
advertising campaign will be accompanied by 1/2-page newspaper
advertisements and
high-visibility outdoor advertising currently in place on more than 60
billboards and locations along city streets and highways throughout South
Florida.
Whocanisue.com allows potential clients to easily browse and learn online
about aspects of the law that may pertain to their case and then connect
with an attorney of their own choosing when -- and only when -- they are
ready. Whocanisue.com does not require consumers to reveal confidential
details or provide their name and phone number. Users complete a question
path to determine their qualification for a particular claim, then review
the profiles of attorneys who advertise on the site. Consumers can initiate
an instant message or phone call with the attorney, or request that the law
firm contact them directly.
"In recent years, the public has become increasingly frustrated over the
erosion of consumer protection and individual rights through excessive
deregulation of the institutions, agencies and laws that once protected
them," said Curtis Wolfe, founder and CEO of Whocanisue.com.
"Whocanisue.com provides a secure place online where individuals can gain a
better understanding of whether their rights have been violated, get
information on nearby attorneys experienced in handling similar cases and
then initiate contact with those attorneys when and how they choose."
The television ads can be seen starting this week on leading South Florida
TV channels WFLX (Fox29) and WSFL (CW). The ads adopt a comical style to
focus viewer attention on the choice and ease involved in connecting with
attorneys through the whocanisue.com website without being intimidating to
the user.
In one TV ad, a patient bandaged head-to-toe awakens to survey his hospital
surroundings. Spotting a nurse at the foot of his bed he calls out, "Nurse,
who can I sue?" -- only to engage in a parody of the old "Who's on First?"
comedy routine, the impatient nurse finally telling him about
"whocanisue.com, silly! There you can learn about any legal claims and
contact the attorney of your choice when you're ready."
Consumers can also view the TV ads online at YouTube, sharing the video
with friends and social networks and learning more about the service on the
dedicated whocanisue.com channel at: www.youtube.com/wcismedia.
Whocanisue.com, backed by individuals from the legal and online marketing
communities led by venture capitalist and former Holiday Isle Resort and
Marina partner Vincent L. Celentano, was launched in August 2008 at the
Annual Meeting of the American Bar Association. Since the end-September
launch of the company's "beta" website, whocanisue.com has received
hundreds of thousands of visits from individuals seeking more information
about their legal rights and to find attorneys in their area.
Designed to fill the gap in the market with a model that gives consumers
greater control, safety, and efficiency, whocanisue.com allows users to
select the attorney of their choice from among lawyers who advertise on the
website. It does not field incoming queries from clients in order to direct
them to an attorney chosen by the service and is therefore in compliance
with bar association rules and regulations that restrict activities of
referral services.
At whocanisue.com, users can find information about a growing number of
legal topics, including: Accidents, Product Liability, Discrimination,
Financial Services, Health Care, Employment, Family Law, Criminal Law,
Nursing Homes and more. More information is available online at:
