Can I have Ops?
If you were starting up in the advertising world, everything was going OK, you had a nice few small accounts that were earning you money, with a nice work life balance as well.

Then a personal injury lawyer comes along and wants you to work for them. A proper ambulance chaser.

You will be paid a lot of money, the work will be relatively easy although it may involve the creative equivalent of applying lube and bending over.

This person isn't involved in torture (unless you count the stoned students who will have to watch your ad on Dave TV)

This person isn't molesting anyone (apart from culture generally)

What should this person do?
 
If you're worried about the moral side of things, personal injury lawyers are more obnoxious than they are terrible.

I would go for it.
 
It boils down to money. How bad do you want the extra money? Will it be worth having a job you might hesitate to tell people about, and the stress/dirty hands involved in the work itself?

If the money is worth it, enjoy. But it sounds like you're pretty happy with your life at the moment.

Also, is there a receptionist in the new office with huge cans? Like torpedos? Eh? Eh? (LOL STRAIGHT HUMOR)

I know the feeling. I was recently asked to do some modelling work for a company that makes military vehicles. I basically would've been helping to sell products that would be used to kill people (and, yes, help defend people and nice stuff too), as my renders would've been used in their iPad brochure. They were also offering ridiculous money.

Thankfully, the choice was taken out of my hands because it would've been too large a workload for the timescale they were looking at, and I had other work on.

Injury lawyers aren't SO terrible, but I agree with Eggs. Think about whether it's something you'd be comfortable telling others about, or if it'd be something you'd avoid telling them and kind of hope they didn't discover for themselves.

The ad I really hate is the InjuryLawyers4You advert that's filmed inside City Hall in London (but it's implied that it's their offices and the bloke from The Bill and Eastenders [he played a gangster to my recollection...] is their boss). Whoever on Boris's team allowed that scum to film in a building that's representative of London's government deserves to drop a hefty box of pencils on their foot, forcing them to take time off work.
 
Here's the hottest one going around the NYC area right now: Might as well stick an icepick in my temples...catch the HIP URBAN FEEL to it...although I don't know what's racist about a squirrel...

LOL Greenstein & Milbauer want those Blatino dollars!
 
It's appropriate that the squirrel in that ad looks horribly disabled. I'm sure that was intentional on the part of the animators.
 
You should join a 1960's advertising agency and smoke while suffering no ill-effects and make sexist remarks at dames.
