Topless Law Firm Marketing

Sometimes you come across some pretty unusual law firm marketing memorabilia.

I thought this piece was a bit surprising.  Does anyone know anything about Neil Price, a Johnstown, PA lawyer from the 1960s or 70s, maybe (judging from the hairstyle)?

The first nudity in law firm marketing, perhaps?


Please have him contact me; I'd like to learn more about what kind of practice he had, who his target audience was, and how this marketing piece was received.  The original wasn't blurred, of course.

OK, I got so many requests for the original version, here it is. Not suitable for the office, obviously.

  1. So Ross, where'd you get it? Do they sell vintage lawyer marketing memorabilia on ebay?

  2. I've been collecting vintage lawyer marketing materials for 20 years. I have some that actually dates back to the late 17th century.

    I find it all quite fascinating - but that's probably why people avoid me at cocktail parties.

  3. After getting so many comments requesting the uncensored original, I've uploaded a link to it via the original post.

  4. The Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board lists a Neil Werner Price of Johnstown, admitted 1981, whose license to practice law was suspended for 5 years in 1999: http://www.padisciplinaryboard.org/attadddc.php?id=35114

  5. Thanks, Glomarization.

    Good catch! I hadn't seen this information before. Presuming that it's the same Neil Price from Johnstown, PA, it's also reported at: http://caselaw.findlaw.com/pa-supreme-court/1396162.html. Interesting.
