Advertising Rules for Lawyers.

Overview

Lawyers are allowed to advertise their business to attract new clients. However, you want to make sure that you are following local advertising rules for lawyers, this way you don’t get into any legal trouble.

Advertising rules apply to lawyers who are marketing themselves online and offline. And regardless of which format you use, research local American Bar Association rules in your area. You can find them here.

Some advertising rules for lawyers to keep in mind include:

1. Refrain From Calling Yourself an Expert

Be careful when you create your advertisements. You have to word your ads honestly to reflect your knowledge and skills as a lawyer. And, you can’t call yourself an expert or specialist, even if you have been a lawyer for many years.

According to the American Bar Association Rule 7.2, a lawyer can’t claim to be a specialist in certain areas of legal practice unless they are given specific certification by the ABA or a local organization that is accredited by the ABA. Keep this in mind as you promote yourself and your skills as a lawyer.

2. Ads Should Not Have False or Misleading Claims

As a lawyer, you are required to be honest with your clients and not make any misleading claims. Not only is it unethical to lie to people whom you offer your legal services, but you can also land yourself in trouble with the ABA.

In short, lawyers shouldn’t make false or misleading statements about their fees, services, experience, and other relevant information. For instance, don’t say you have the cheapest prices in the area, or the best legal service, as this can mislead clients.

3. Testimonials Should Be Ethically Sourced

You can use testimonials for your website and advertisements. However, refrain from soliciting testimonials from clients. You should never pay a client to give you a good review online. Testimonials should be given of a client’s own free will. Look at ABA Rule 7.2 (b) for more information.

4. Include Approved Information

Finally, you want to know which information you can include in your legal advertising campaigns. Information in your ads will tell your clients everything they need to know about your brand and services.

We recommend doing a bit of research online about what you can put in your advertisement. Again, look at the ABA’s official rules for advertisement here. You can include your prices, qualifications, awards, memberships, and any of your publications.
