Ambulance chasing at its most reprehensible:

A controversial 9/11 ad with an altered picture of a model firefighter holding a picture of the aftermath of the World Trade Center attack under the headline "I was there" will not be running again, according to the ad agency responsible for the ad.
Robert Keiley, the model in the ad, is a firefighter with the New York City Fire Department, said John Barker, president of the ad agency Barker DZP. However, Keiley was not at ground zero right after the 9/11 attacks and did not become a firefighter with the department until 2004.
"The intent of the ad is a positive one," Barker said. "The ad was designed to tell people that there are funds available for people that were injured at ground zero."
The ad was for Worby Groner Edelman & Napoli Bern, a law firm known for representing injury-claim cases.
