We'll re-present the same story as a thoughtful proponent of the marketing-glitch frame would. Not to convince you. To let you actually meet the argument.

The harmless-typo defense
A plaintiffs' trial lawyer would argue —
Look at the underlying record before you laugh too hard. The phrase 'multi-figure verdicts' is obviously a website glitch — somebody dropped the modifier 'eight' or 'seven' from a template — and the same page documents real recoveries, including an $11 million truck-accident settlement that landed on a national top-ten list. Marketing copy gets garbled all the time; what matters in this business is whether the lawyer actually moves money for injured clients, and on that score the results speak for themselves. Treating a stray word in a banner as a window into competence is exactly the kind of gotcha that mistakes form for substance.

If this read like a fair rendering of the argument — even when you disagree — it's doing its job. Steelmen aren't aimed at persuading you; they're aimed at what the other side actually believes when they're thinking clearly.
