2 Florida cities lead nation in TV ads for lawyers

MGN

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Television viewers in two Florida cities face more television ads by lawyers than any other TV market in the nation.

A new report released last week says Tampa and Orlando have the most television spots for lawyers.

Those TV markets are followed by Atlanta, Las Vegas and Milwaukee.

The report was released by the U.S. Chamber Institute of Legal Reform, an affiliate of the pro-business U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The report says the highest concentration of advertising for lawyers is found during talk shows and local news programs.
