The court is in session as lawyers navigate the complexities of a fierce legal dispute in Colorado.
Frank Azar & Associates have filed a lawsuit against rival firm Bachus & Schanker, alleging deceptive advertising practices aimed at misleading potential clients in Colorado. The case raises questions about advertising ethics in the legal field and follows a history of litigation over competitive ad strategies. With significant implications for the personal injury legal landscape, this ongoing feud showcases the intense competition among law firms in Denver.
In a dramatic new development in the personal injury legal landscape of Colorado, Frank Azar & Associates are taking legal action against Bachus & Schanker, alleging that their competitor is engaging in deceptive practices to siphon potential clients away. The ongoing feud, which revolves around the utilization of Google keyword ads, has culminated in a lawsuit filed in the Denver District Court.
Known for their expansive advertising strategies, Azar’s firm is particularly famous for their iconic billboards plastered across the Colorado landscape. Meanwhile, Bachus & Schanker has adopted an equally bold approach, featuring the faces of their partners on downtown buses throughout Denver. The competition between these two legal powerhouses has become a focal point in the local legal community, particularly with this latest indictment.
At the heart of the dispute are allegations concerning Google’s advertising practices. Azar’s lawsuit claims that when consumers search for “azar and associates,” they encounter an ad titled “Frank Azar,” which links to the website of Bachus & Schanker instead. This, according to Azar’s firm, has led to the misleading and confusing of car crash victims searching for legitimate legal assistance. The lawsuit states that at least “dozens, if not hundreds or thousands” of potential clients have been misdirected due to this deceptive advertising tactic.
This isn’t the first time Azar has found himself embroiled in legal battles over advertising practices. Last December, he secured a notable $1.5 million settlement in a similar case, and a nearly identical lawsuit was filed just a few months prior, in late March. Azar’s firm is not only focused on Bachus & Schanker; they are simultaneously pursuing two other legal cases against competing firms, showcasing their aggressive strategy in the personal injury sector.
Azar’s legal team has leveled multiple accusations against Bachus & Schanker, including violations of the Colorado Deceptive Trade Practices Act and claims of trademark infringement. The lawsuit alleges that Bachus & Schanker’s tactics exploit the goodwill Azar has built up over more than three decades in practice, which is considered a violation of trademark law.
The implications of Azar’s legal disputes have sparked considerable discussion among legal professionals in the area. There is a growing concern regarding the integrity of advertising practices in the competitive personal injury market. As these firms battle it out in the courtroom, the legal landscape may undergo significant changes that could set new standards for how lawyers promote their services.
In response to these allegations, Dominic Genco, a former attorney at Azar’s firm who now leads Genco Injury Attorneys, has adamantly denied any wrongdoing. His firm insists that their advertising strategies do not infringe upon Azar’s trademarks or confuse potential clients. Genco’s attorney has dismissed Azar’s claims as “substantially groundless, frivolous, or vexatious,” a statement that adds another layer to this intricate legal soap opera.
Representing Azar in this legal skirmish is a robust lineup of attorneys from prominent legal firms, including Tamir Goldstein, Michael Kosma, Morgan Steele (from Taft Stettinius & Hollister), as well as Meghan Martinez and Sarah Nolan from Martinez Law Group. With such formidable legal minds at the helm, this case is poised to capture the attention of the legal community as it unfolds.
The ongoing litigation represents more than just a dispute between two law firms; it encapsulates the intense competition within the realm of personal injury law and raises critical questions about advertising ethics and client rights. As Frank Azar & Associates and Bachus & Schanker prepare for what promises to be a contentious legal battle, the outcomes could reshape the future of legal services advertising in Colorado.
