Re: "Who Can I Sue?"
On the plus side, you don't generally pay a grand a year for a customer matchmaking service if you're having a good flow of business.
Re: "Who Can I Sue?"
Oh, that's a very small marketing expense. New associates in DC and NYC firms start at somewhere around $150k a year and still make a profit for their firms. If a service like that generated only one profitable case every few years or so it would be worth it. More to the point, though, it's probably a viable way for sole practitioners and small boutique firms to build a practice.
Ironically, BTW, most state bar associations have free lawyer referral services through which a prospective client explains what his legal concerns are and is directed to one or several lawyers in his location who practice in that area of law and are willing to see him on an initial consultation for a very nominal fee. (This is true for personal legal issues across the board, not just potential tort suits.) Here in Texas, the TV stations are littered with hard sell legal ads. I have to say I find it all pretty depressing.

There's a guy that runs ads in Louisville by the name of Darryl Isaacs. He truly embraces the slime. There's an ad where he's in a holding cell with a sledge hammer. He knocks the lock off of a cell and the camera pulls back to reveal Lincoln, Ben Franklin, etc celebrating as they come out.

There's a law office in Dallas with a 20 foot shark on a pole on top of their building.

I actually think that's kind of cool.

Did you hear about the terrorists who hijacked a planeload of lawyers?
They threatened to release one every hour unless their demands were met.
