Many, if not most Boston personal injury attorneys, and personal injury attorneys throughout the greater Commonwealth, advertise their services. Lawyers are allowed to advertise their services, but they must do so within certain ethical guidelines. One such guideline is the requirement that an attorney’s advertisement not be misleading.
An example of a misleading personal injury advertisement would run something like this “We collect millions for our clients” or “We promise to get you money for your injuries.” If you come across an advertisement like this, pick a different lawyer. The lawyer who runs misleading advertisements may also do other things which are misleading and unethical, and you would probably be better served by selecting a different lawyer to represent you.
