Take a break and look at this absolutely insane ad for a lawyer

Bryan Wilson / YouTube

BRYAN WILSON IS a lawyer.

He’s also the Texas Law Hawk and his ad is dementedly brilliant. The junior lawyer from Forth Worth has come up with a persona that’s somewhat…different to most lawyers.

In this, the third commercial for his award-winning legal practice,  Bryan discusses the legality of Texas law enforcement making people take breathalyser tests. But rather than discuss legal codes or actual laws, he does it by riding a motorbike.

Texas Law Hawk

As Bryan himself says:

“Due process? Do wheelies!”.

    Once would be enough watching that commercial.

    If it cropped up several times during the night a brick would go through the TV set.
