Judith Sheindlin, presiding judge on the daytime television series “Judge Judy,” has filed a lawsuit against a Connecticut law firm, claiming the firm has unlawfully used her image in the firm’s television and internet advertising.
Sheindlin has accused The Haymond Law Firm P.C., and attorney John Haymond, who focuses on personal injury work and whose ads are readily visible on billboards around Connecticut, with violations of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act, and for appropriation of likeness and appropriation of the right of publicity under Connecticut state law.
