It is amazing at how many websites for attorneys are in complete violation of the rules for attorney marketing and advertising in their given state.
Every state has its own rules on what is and what is not permissible. States have rules about everything from disclaimers and testimonials to past awards being posted and naming of the firm. What attorneys need to keep in mind is that their licenses are on the line and they must keep up to date with these rules or use vendors that keep up to date on the rules.
As a former attorney I know how important this is and we stress to our clients the importance of keeping the site up to date and in compliance. We monitor the rules of professional responsibility and attorney advertising/marketing in order to give proper counsel to our clients and to ensure that their sites remain in compliance.
Large firms and small firms alike often make critical mistakes that could have significant consequences. Why take the risk?
