Question:
Ruth Reardon works for a criminal lawyer, Sammy Swanson. As a paralegal, Ruth sometimes goes to the county jail to talk with clients who are awaiting release. One day when Ruth is going to the courthouse, Sammy hands her a stack of flyers about his services and asks her to hand them out in front of and inside the courthouse and jail. The flyer is on letter-size paper and looks like a business card. It had Sammy's name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address and the words, "Specializing in criminal defense work. Call collects any time night or day. Free initial consultation. $150/hour."
- May Ruth hand out these flyers?
- May she post them on bulletin boards and walls in the courthouse or jail?
- If the state has a certification program and Sammy is not certified as a criminal defense specialist, may he use the words "specializing in criminal defense"?
- If not, what alternative language may he use?
- Is it okay for the hourly fee to be stated? What if Sammy decides to raise his fees the next week?
- What if Sammy asks Ruth to hand out regular business cards? Discuss.
