Top Dog, Pond Lehocky, and Morgan & Morgan: If you've driven on any Philly highway, you know these lawyers' names. But why are personal injury lawyers buying up all the billboard space? We're revisiting a conversation with host Trenae Nuri and Tom McGath, contributing writer at Philly Mag, about why our highways (and buses) are covered in billboards for personal injury lawyers and what that says about Philly.

Read Tom’s full story here. 

This episode originally aired on February 18th, 2025.
