In this proposed change to the rules regulating attorney conduct, additional restrictions
are placed upon lawyers who take referrals from referral services. Examples of the
proposed additions to the existing rule: lawyers would not be allowed to accept referrals
from referral services that have misleading names or that fail to tell customers where
the lawyer they are being referred to has an office. Also, lawyers would not be allowed
to take referrals from a referral service that, in exchange for the referral, either requires
or pressures lawyers to refer clients to another professional.
