- Corporate LawWe mourn the passing of our Founding Member, Gary Becker, after a long illness. Gary was a pioneer in the area of legal advertising, as he firmly believed that lawyers were protected by the United States and Kentucky Constitutions for commercial free speech, just as any other profession. Gary often pointed out that all attorneys were allowed to advertise, and that even Abraham Lincoln was an advertising lawyer, until large, powerful corporate law firms changed the rules to prohibit the practice in trying to garner a monopoly on the business of law. It was that pioneering spirit that convinced Gary in 1985 to stop defending insurance companies and large corporations, which he successfully represented early in his career, to completely change direction and focus only on representing regular hard-working people in order to level the playing field against the rich and powerful.
