May 17, 201214 yr How is that any different from the litany of lawyers dying to represent us in any number of potential case situations? Technically, The Heavy Hitter is seeking out clients with his ads. I coudn't agree with you more....... Sincerely, Rob U. Insurance
May 17, 201214 yr How is that any different from the litany of lawyers dying to represent us in any number of potential case situations? Technically, The Heavy Hitter is seeking out clients with his ads. It is different because there is a difference between advertising & solicitation. Here is a link to the ABA's Rules of Professional Conduct. Section 7.2 Advertising: Rule 7.2: Advertising | The Center for Professional Responsibility Section 7.3 Direct Contact With Prospective Clients (i.e. Solicitation): Rule 7.3: Direct Contact with Prospective Clients | The Center for Professional Responsibility As you'll see from the link, an attorney is allowed to advertise. An attorney CANNOT solicit a prospective client when his/her motive is financial. The Heavy Hitter advertises...his commercials, terrible as they may be, are seen by everyone, not just those who might have claims. If the Heavy Hitter personally contacted those people who may have legal claims, it'd cross the line to solicitation and would be grounds for discipline.

May 26, 201214 yr Ohio court suspends Eric Deters | NKY.com | cincinnati.com In fairness to Deters: The court’s action is based solely upon a similar suspension in Kentucky. The neighboring states have reciprocal discipline like some states do for driver’s licenses.“This Ohio suspension has nothing to do with misconduct in Ohio or new misconduct,” Deters said. “It’s only the Kentucky issue.”
May 27, 201214 yr Author In fairness to Deters: The court’s action is based solely upon a similar suspension in Kentucky. The neighboring states have reciprocal discipline like some states do for driver’s licenses.“This Ohio suspension has nothing to do with misconduct in Ohio or new misconduct,” Deters said. “It’s only the Kentucky issue.” I'm surprised the suspension in Ohio is worse than in the state who gave the initial suspension.
