Attorney Steven L. Hill, Denver Colorado, Ticket Void, LLC: Spammer

Apr 15, 2009

Irksome, Law

We’ve just gotten two spam comments, with the IP address 212.235.92.144, reading as this:

I promised my lawyer I’d pimp his site online ( http://ticketvoid.com ) after he got me off for drinking & driving. All charges we’re dropped today! Kudos

and

I got a DUI ticket and my lawyers ( http://ticketvoid.com ) convinced the judge that the police don’t know how to administer the drinking test.

The defendants, incidentally, are named Seostarman1 and Seostarman7.  Perhaps they could use a lawyer’s help in arranging for a name change.

Ticketvoid is, according to Merchantcircle and Linkedin, run by Steven L. Hill, of the “Greater Denver Area.”   According to the firm of Kamlet, Shepherd, & Reichert, LLP (and his Linkedin profile) Steven L. Hill was very recently:

an associate in the Real Estate and Project Finance group, Hill’s practice focuses on commercial real estate transactions, including leasing for office, retail and mixed-use developments. His clients include landlords and tenants. Prior to coming to Kamlet Shepherd, he worked for the largest drive-up water vending company in the United States. Hill received his juris doctor degree from the University of Colorado School of Law.

Steven L. Hill is no longer with that firm.

I would no more hire a water vending lawyer, or or a real estate lawyer, to represent me on a criminal charge of DWI or DUI, than I would hire Ronald McDonald to represent me on a charge of french fry theft.  I would not hire a spammer to represent me on a murder charge if he was Gerry Spence.

And I wouldn’t pay a real estate lawyer to refer me for a DUI defense under any circumstances.  Particularly not a BLOGSPAMMER like Steven L. Hill, of the greater Denver area.

    It would be cool if I could get some help from Ronald McDonald. I had no idea he was taking on new clients at this time. Thanks for letting me know.

    I hear he got the Hamburglar off after he killed those three Wendy’s employees.

    Ronald, that is. Not Steven L. Hill, who is clearly an ass.

    He must be a pretty shitty lawyer if he has to spam blogs to drum up clients.

    That wasn’t the Hamburglar, it was the Hammurderer.

    He’s probably yet another desperate associate who got screwed by a law school (plenty of jobs! just take 100K in debt!) and screwed by his former firm (note that he used to practice in real estate). He gets “fired” for “performance reasons” despite years of glowing reviews, looks for a job for a few months, and realizes there aren’t any. He starts his own firm to do DUI defense, one of the few ways a young lawyer with no courtroom experience can possibly get clients. He hires some net marketing firm to drum up business, unaware of how they do it. They spam blogs. Tada, now he’s been screwed by a law school, a law firm, and a net marketing company.

    Yes, I am bitter. No, I am not Steven L. Hill.

    Lawyers are responsible for their marketing. Indeed, anyone in any business or profession is responsible for his marketing. When that marketing includes spam, it behooves us to point out who the spammers are, if they can be identified.

    It is because of spammers that we have to maintain comment filters on this site, rather than allowing anyone to comment at will. It is because of spammers that I have to wade into the most inane and disgusting comment filth to rescue comments from valued readers on occasion. As I had to do this morning to remove the comment just above yours, from Pagan Temple, who reads this site regularly and in fact appears on our blogroll. It had been misidentified as spam because he used the word “spam” and “blogs” and because he included a url address in his signature.

    Spamming is a despicable act. No lawyer should market his services by spam. I have no sympathy.

    What are Colorado’s lawyer advertising rules? That would be an ethics violation in my state.

    Can I have fries with that?

    The IP address resolves to DSL212-235-92-144.bb.netvision.net.il, a DSL subscription to an ISP in Israel.

    The comments are wonderful. All parties should spend five minutes and complete adequate research prior to clicking “submit comment” or leaving hateful messages. I do not represent drivers in Traffic Tickets or DUI’s, I never opened a DUI law firm. I serve as VP for a company that provides advertisement for law firms that represent drivers in traffic related matters. The Five Hundred law firms that use our service speaks as loud as your researched comments.

    Really, Mr. Hill? So you think that spamming blogs with ads for DUI lawyers is something to be proud of?
