Through the preeminent Professor Bainbridge (http://www.professorbainbridge.com/) we learned of Allison Margolin, an incredibly bright and remarkably attractive young attorney who made a cool 3-minute ad for her practice exclusively for YouTube.



In the past few months, YouTube has grown from a cult website with a small but loyal following to one of the most visited websites on the Internet. By allowing anyone to post flash animation videos of any kind, the site has built a reputation as a place where people can go to see anything.





But, until know, I've never heard of attorneys advertising via YouTube. Margolin, a criminal defense attorney, posted this neat ad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD9yfvu3IBs).



Carolyn Elefant at MyShingle (http://www.myshingle.com) has praise for the ad, as it allows Margolin to squeeze in more important info than she would have been able to in a 30-second television spot. The production values are also noticeably better than the average ad for legal services.
