I am seeing that Dr. Siobhan Dunnavant is now running an Internet ad that I might be able to place here at the blog. And maybe not. It is a double down on anti-lawyer bigotry.
Dr. Dunnavant has a bifurcated ad with on the left items like:
- OBAMACARE
- INCREASED TAXES
Her blame: LAWYERS and CAREER POLITICIANS
And on the right side the SOLUTION:
A DOCTOR and her name and a place to click on to go to Dr. Dunnavant’s website.
So I say: GO to Dr. Dunnavant’s website or her FB page or call her campaign HQ (601-8151) and tell her how you feel about her anti-lawyer bias.
BE NICE and CIVIL!
But tell her!
- Tell her about the lawyer that helped you in a messy divorce and helped collect your child support
- Tell her about the lawyer who helped you get the compensation you deserve in an auto accident or the insurance defense lawyer who was with you when you were not at fault but accused of negligence
- How about that lawyer who got that reckless driving ticket reduced
- The one you called through a legal service like LegalShield
- The lawyer who got your rental property back after the tenant trashed it, or the lawyer who kept you from being exploited by a rapacious landlord
- Tell your story!
It is irresponsible and unfair for Dr. Dunnavant to lump in all lawyers in with “career politicians” (an obvious reference of course to Bill Janis) and imply she is more virtuous than them because she is a physician. So tell it! But be nice!
UPDATE: Here it is!

But Shakespeare said: “First let’s kill all the lawyers…”
But seriously- doctors always rant against lawyers over the malpractice suits until they find themselves in one and then it is a skilled lawyer for the defense that they seek out for their own salvation.
Hypocrisy. I don’t want a Doctor who writes birth control pills all day long in an office writing VA Laws in the General Assembly- I want a lawyer who graduated from Law School and passed the VA Bar exam.
