Two-year-old boy gets surprise personal injury lawyer-themed birthday party

It’s perfectly natural for a 2-year-old boy to want to be like the cartoons and superheroes he sees on television. There are too many of these memorable characters to name: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spiderman, Batman and of course Mickey Mouse are just some of the classics. And while young Grayson Dobra of Prairieville, Louisiana is certainly a big fan of Mickey, there’s a rather unique character that takes his fandom cake. None other than New Orleans personal injury lawyer Morris Bart.

 

You heard that right. Grayson can’t seem to stop watching Bart’s ads, which don’t exactly feature any web spinning, bat signals or quirky mouse ears. How much does Grayson like Bart you ask? So much so that for his second birthday this past January, his mom L’erin brought him a cake with the attorney’s edible photo printed on it to go along with a life-size cardboard cut-out of the man himself.

Ms. Dobra swears that her boy is indeed a big fan of Mickey, but that he’d watch Bart’s personal injury commercials over the mouse any day. Grayson’s fascination with the lawyer has even gotten to the point that he watches the minute-long personal injury ads on YouTube.

While Bart did not make an appearance at Grayson’s party, he did send the boy a framed autographed photo of himself along with other goodies, and let’s be honest, Grayson was probably okay with that. Because while Spiderman and Batman fight fictional characters for a living, Bart is out there winning real-life personal injury cases, evidently earning the trust and admiration of at least one child in diapers. How crazy is that?
